If you've ever wondered what it looks like to pack thousands of articles of clothing for Honduras, here's a few photos of what that may look like!
I don't think Grace was trying it on, I think she was just trying to flip it to check the condition. But...it has happened that some more "interesting" clothes have been donned for photo opportunities.
Shoes are sorted out and then paired up and sent on to where they are needed.
This is me sorting out heavy winter items (in the overflowing bins behind me) that are not needed in Honduras this time of year (if ever!). They will be sent to locations that need them in the coming fall and winter months.
Dale, tightly packing a bag. Yes, that is on the floor. These bags way about 80 pounds when completed and upwards of 20 or more are packed within the two hour C.H.A.M.P. Camp session.
It's not all hard work. Someone brought ice cream sandwiches for the kiddos too.
Hopefully, you can see from these photos that this is a family-friendly way to serve. We love it because we get to serve with friends from our home school co-op and since it's one of Dale's off days, we do it as a family. For me personally, it's also exciting to think that the clothes we're inspecting and sorting will someday be worn by people in Kosovo, Honduras, Ukraine, or even Togo.
