Our troop took a field trip to work on our philanthropy patch. We went to a place called "Feed My Starving Children." It's a place where you donate your time to help make and pack food for children around the world that are starving. Most of our girls were able to attend! We put on our hair nets and got ready!
The lady explained that we would be packing bags of manna rice. She explained the stations and what we would be doing.
There were quite a few volunteers there that night so our troop got split up. The girls set up camp at the ingredients. They included vitamins, vegetables, soy, and rice. They had scoops that had to be put in the bag in a certain order.
Some of our other friends helping out.
Everyone had a job to do and worked very hard.
Everytime you packed a box, your table got to cheer.
Meryn B. was busy scooping!
Mrs. Beu was busy preparing the bags.
Here is the map of countries (you can't see the little lights) but it shows where all the food is sent.
Here;s where our box was headed.
This is what the place looks like. They really have it down to a science. Everyone even had to help clean up.
After an hour of working and cleanup, they tell you how many boxes you packed and how many meals that is.
We packed enough to feed 51 kids for a year!
What a great feeling to be a part of that. We are looking into doing this again!
