The packing party is an event where our team gets
together to pack the “checked” luggage for the trip.
These bags are filled with
donated items such as school supplies, medications, medical supplies, shoes,
soccer balls, children's games, personal hygiene items, water purifiers, books, and more.
Our first team challenge - Each person is allowed two 50 lb. bags. We attempt to have each bag full to capacity
and weigh exactly 50 pounds. This way we can maximize our ability to bring
supplies. We do this by weighing each bag over and over again with a luggage
scale. Many times this involves the tedious work of
unpacking and repacking.
This gathering gives the group another chance to meet
and to start working together as a team.
We have a great TEAM for Tanzania 2015.
We can’t wait
to show you all that we will do & accomplish together!
Safe travels to Addis! ~Jesika
