North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine F. Marshall, who Co-Chairs the North Carolina - Moldova Bilateral Partnership, visited North Carolina National Guard Soldiers at the North Carolina Textbook Warehouse in Raleigh, North Carolina, April 8, 2021.
The Soldiers were preparing donations collected statewide for citizens of Moldova as part of the ongoing NCNG supported State Partnership Program between the Republic of Moldova and North Carolina which began in 1996.
"We know what we send will go to good use," said Marshall.
As she toured the facility with other members of her N.C. Department of the Secretary of State staff, she met with Maj. Sean Daily, the incoming NCNG Bilateral Affairs Officer, along with Col. Mike Marciniak, NCNG Strategic Plans Director, Maj. Mike Sterling, NCNG State Partnership Director and 1st Lt. Kory Dearie, incoming NCNG Museum Officer in Charge, while they were delivering a recent donation of surplus medical supplies and devices from the Pediatrics Office of Dr. Shilpa Gosrani in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Everyone helped unload the large box truck Daily drove from Greensboro packed with an examination table, specialty medical and cleaning supplies. Many hands made quick work as they loaded the forklift driven by Chris Green, the warehouse supervisor.
He added the pallet to other donations he and staff had sorted and packaged for later shipment.
"I am glad we are able to do it," said Green.
Staff from the N.C. Secretary of State office, Lora Sinigur, North Carolina - Moldova Partnership Liaison and Rodney Maddox, Chief Deputy Secretary of State, discussed the future shipping and distribution of the supplies in Moldova with the NCNG leaders.
"The Moldovans are super excited," said Sterling.
They walked throughout the warehouse along the many rows of books, wheel chairs, toys, and personal protective equipment as the Guard experts and members of Marshall's staff highlighted the types of donations and who could best use the supplies.
"It is quite impressive," said Sinigur.
Future contributions and the current inventory will be loaded into a transatlantic shipping container for delivery in May funded by a non-profit grant.
2021 marks the 25th anniversary of the N.C. National Guard State Partnership Program with Moldova.
