Volunteering

After having said last year, that we would like to do more volunteering, we finally worked it into the schedule to go down to Feed the Children again and help out for a couple of hours.

It is such a perfect organization for the age the girls are at. The man in charge is so fabulous with the girls! He remembered them from last year, and again gave the girls a great explanation of how their work was going to help children and families in South America.
The girls were able to help out this time by consolidating a shipment of crocs into easier to ship boxes. We spent a couple of hours, and managed to empty 3 whole skids.
Afterwards the girls were invited into the lunchroom for drinks and Popsicles.
We all went home happy and dirty and with a greater sense of how we can help others even if it seems like a little job.
This year we will have to make more definite plans to return.
