Last weekend I got a very LARGE shipment of donations from a church group in New York. They held a Super Saturday event where youth and leaders from multiple congregations united their efforts to collect, knit, sew, and package literally hundreds of items for the people here.
Knitting hats is serious business for these teenagers, as you can see...
Don't let anyone tell you quilting isn't manly, especially if you're doing it to meet girls.
This will keep someone warm through the winter!
This must not have been the first time this group has done something like this, because they had the process down cold: Assembly lines, work stations, numbered boxes with item quantities, packed neatly and tightly. UPS has nothing on these guys!
Next time you despair about the young generation, remember that there are young people like these who will do things that will amaze us.
Thanks guys! I'm waiting for the last of your boxes to arrive this weekend. After that, they will go to the clinic here on base, and the Women's Shelter and Orphanage in Ghazni. Happy New Year! ("Remember who you are!" HA!)
