Vitamin Packing & Pizza



At our most recent meeting, the team joined together to pack up all of the vitamins (and even some children's toys!) which we have collected over the past few weeks for travel. This is usually our longest meeting of the year, just because there is so much that needs to be recorded and cataloged for customs officials. However, everyone stepped up, including lots of members of our Home Team, and we did it in the shortest amount of time yet. Mary Stefanski headed up the project and we will be now be taking hundreds of pounds of multivitamins with us next week. The multivitamins are crucial for the recovery of patients who are suffering from HIV/AIDS and other ailments treated by Faith Alive Hospital.

Traditionally, this has also been a great bonding night for all of our teams. Gin Gin brought pizza for everyone, we had some tunes, and just hung out and got it all done. This is one of the great ways for the parish to join in our work and directly aid the people we work with in Nigeria. Thanks for your continued support and stay tuned for many more updates this week!
