There are several posts about it including this one about some of the items she made to take for the local children.
Princess number four has taken her example and applied to the same organization and was accepted to go to Thailand.
She decided that she would make the sacrifice to earn what money she needed to raise for her trip. She has been beating the pavement asking for donations and has already begun her service hours. In order to participate with this group, you have to do 80-100 hours of local service in your own community with 40 of those hours being for one organization. Then, while in the service country, there are two weeks of service.
Princess 4 chose to make the organization for her service hours the food bank. She contacted them asking what she could do for them. Since they are only open when she is at school, it was wonderful that they could find a project for her to do after school hours.
There are over 30 boxes of crunch pieces and each box takes her about an hour to bag and label. She has finished about ten so far in the past two weeks and is hoping to finish the rest before Thanksgiving so she can have most of her hours done before the holidays.
I spent an hour or so making lables to go on the Heath bags with content information and instructions.
I am blessed and grateful that my girls choose to do service and enjoy the opportunity to help those that may be less fortunate than we are in our lives.
Who could ask for more than that? I am so blessed!
Also, if any of you would like to donate to Princess 4's trip to Thailand, please contact me for the link. It is tax deductible and I know she (and I) would appreciate any support you may be able to give.
