On Saturday, I brought my 2 year-old granddaughter Jasey with me to help other volunteers pack items to be sent to the Mission students. She helped by unwrapping some drinking bottles which were purchased and imprinted with the Mission School seal by
Hulco Printers, then dropping them into a box after I screwed the tops on. The bottles would later be filled with toothpaste tubes and toothbrushes. Rose Fontana, the Director of Mission Office organized an assembly line in which the filled bottles were rolled in a heavy cloth bag with shoulder straps, then placed in large orange thermos jugs. Among the volunteers helping were Brooke, Deanne, and two of her five children -- Leslie and Michael -- later to be joined by Cindy, Darlene and Carolyn from
St. Basil Church in Judice. In a short time we accomplished quite a lot of packing thanks to Rose's well-organized assembly-line.
When the jugs arrive at the compound, the students will fill them at a water source on the compound and place them next to each classroom. After Lunch, the students will be required to brush their teeth -- insuring that they are brushed at least once a day.
