Service to Afghanistan

Well, once again we were in the right place at the right time to partake in helping with a humanitarian project's final steps. There is a group hear called Women of Faith comprising churches and service organizations that spend a year or more helping to serve in any way they can.

Jean Arnott, who was in charge of this aspect of the project, said that many people have worked hard to see it completed. They had one lady in a wheelchair come and a lady with an oxygen tank come on a bus for an hour just to help. They found much needed jobs they could do to help.

They were sending over 800 birthing kits, school kits, back packs, hygiene kits and more to Afghanistan where there was much need. When they were finished the palates would fill more than one 40ft container to be shipped over there.

On Saturday Jan. 10th we went to the Bishops Warehouse in Colton to help in whatever way we could. It seems that instructions were left out of Birthing Kits and rulers had broken in school kits due to larger/heavier boxes being set on smaller/lighter ones. So for three hours we opened boxes, opened the bags inside and inserted the instructions and double checked all the school bags and replaced broken rulers. It was great fun!





As in all gatherings there is always plenty of food to refresh us when the work is completed. And we did partake!

We have often thought of the opportunities that have been placed before us that we might never had a chance to be part of if we weren't here at this time. We are very thankful.

God has a plan and we pray that we can continue to be instruments in His hands.
