Diary of a Shipping Clerk - Volume 3

By David Miles-Hanschell

This third and final volume of the Diary of a Shipping Clerk is a record of how David Miles-Hanschell brought to a close a remarkable effort to salvage fit-for-purpose educational resources from schools, and ensure that these materials were put to good use where it was needed most.

This volume records David's efforts, between 2009 and 2012, to repurpose vast quantities of desks, books and equipment that were due to be discarded, destroyed and sent to landfill.

But persistence came at a cost. The increasing obstacles, the financial burden of the mission, and the strain of his own ill health tested the limits of David's dedication. In his own words, the project was both a success and a failure - an inspiring act of collaboration, goodwill and sheer determination that was at times a struggle against bureaucracy and an experience of personal sacrifice.

Told with honesty, insight and humour, this final instalment offers a reflection on what it means to fight for a cause - win or lose.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
