Aid agency Gift of the Givers is bowled over by the generosity of South Africans.
It was the first African agency and the only agency in the world to fly six planes into Mogadishu in a two-week period, delivering 112-tons of aid.
South Africans then contributed another whopping 560-ton of supplies to Somalia in five days.
Less than 48-hours after a ship departed with that aid, GOTG now has another 600-tons of supplies in their warehouses.
The latest batch will be shipped out via a new route past Mombassa to Mogadishu on Tuesday.
