Life for Haiti uses school bus as shipping container
0105bus1
Tim Shoda works inside a converted school bus loading bunk bed sets inside the Life for Haiti Foundation USA on Skelton Road last week as the missionary group prepares to ship the bus and beds to the impoverished country.
Obviously, buses are great at transporting a lot of people at once, but they’re pretty handy when it comes to transporting a lot of stuff, too. Local missionaries are busy packing a donated school bus with as much equipment and supplies as possible before shipping the bus to Haiti. The team of local missionaries, including Tim and Karen Shoda of Gainesville, will be visiting the small nation on the third anniversary of a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake.
