Christmas Gift Bags at the School!!!!!
Sometimes my time here is the the absolute best thing I have ever gotten to do in my life. This week definitely was that way. I have been mentioning the Christmas shoebox alternative proposed by a church in the USA. Well this was the week we gave the bags to the kids. The project started as an alternative to the Christmas shoeboxes filled in the USA and then distributed around the world. Doug (head of B2BU Ministries, Inc) was concerned because the cost of shipping those boxes was rising every year and wanted to research an alternative. He had me call in to discuss the potential of doing something specific with our school. From the first phone call I was excited because this is something really fun in my opinion. So Pastor Stephano and I went into town one day to start researching prices. After a full day of looking around we had a pretty good plan to buy school bags and fill them up with gifts for the kids for around $10...
