PACKAGING FOOD for HAITI by Connor

After arriving at the church, the first thing we did was get to our assigned stations.
There were multiple stations and steps involved in packing up the meals.
One station grabbed a bag and held it under a funnel while someone poured vitamins into it.
The next person poured soy extracts (protein).
Then there was someone who poured in dried vegetables and then rice.
The bag was weighed to make sure it was between 390 and 393 grams
and then someone would take the bag for it to get sealed.

The bag was put in a big pile for packaging and loading.
We managed to help pack 50,000 meals.
We were really happy to help all the starving people in Haiti!

Contributions to this newsletter can be submitted to Jennifer Madziarczyk at Troop Meetings or via email at [zoofamily(AT)mchsi.com].
