What a day! The older girls and I went to the humanitarian center on Tuesday morning to do some service. A friend had called us and they needed help so we went. What an awesome experience! I figured the girls could miss a half day of school for service, and apparently the school felt the same way since they gave the girls an excused absence from their morning classes. Anyways, we got there about 8:15 and started right in. WE had about 9 people in our little group and we were doing hygeine kits. We started out checking kits already done to make sure they had everything in them, Then we got to put kits together, then back to checking, then back to creating. We filled two and a half pallets of boxes with kits. With 5 kits per box, we figured there were approx 600 kits per pallet, so our group in 3 hours did about 1500 kits. It was an incredible experience for us to go and not think about ourselves but to help other people. We are thinking of taking the mosers and doing a family thing and helping more. If you get the chance to go or to volunteer, DO IT!!!! It is so worth it!
