 The
Central Asian Partners (CAP) Shipping Service is a U.S. based,
volunteer-run service that collects mail and packages for members
working in Kyrgyzstan, and then ships these by air to the capital
city of Bishkek once a month. Members take turns unpacking the
shipments when they arrive in Bishkek. The service was begun in 1993 to enable expatriate
volunteers serving in Kyrgyzstan to have a reliable method of receiving mail and packages
and was operated through Sept. 2009 by faithful volunteers in the
Atlanta area. We have had many letters expressing what a
lifeline this service is. Others say it is like having Christmas
every month when the shipment arrives.
In October 2009 a whole new team of volunteers in the Baltimore
area took up the mantle of carrying on this vital service and are
pressing forward with fresh enthusiasm. Their first shipment
consisted of 28 large boxes weighing 1607 pounds! We are so thankful to those
who faithfully help each month in providing this lifeline for those
in Kyrgyzstan.
