Humanitarian supplies loaded and ready to go.
Family volunteers in Switzerland send regular shipments of humanitarian aid to developing countries in Central and Eastern Europe and Africa. Additionally, twice a year they donate surplus materials for the Maltese Hospital-service, whose volunteers and helpers, assisted by Family members, load the boxes of humanitarian aid on trucks for further distribution to the needy in far-flung countries.
