Operation Christmas Child...

Last Friday, our homeschool group went to volunteer at "Operation Christmas Child". OCC is a Christian organization that sends shoe boxes to needy children around the world, so that they too can have a Christmas. Our job was to sort through the boxes and take out all "inappropriate" items. Inappropriate items were things that can melt, explode under pressure, or expire, things that would promote war (like camo, little soldiers, etc...), things that were would not help spread the Gospel (skull and cross bones, scary dragons, little demon creatures...you get the picture. These things were classified as "evil"), and things that could break.

It was so fun to serve in that way, and know that these boxes are going to children around the world. The boxes we sorted that day went to the Philippines!!

Enough said.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD (look at all those boxes, and that's just a fraction)
This is where all the ripped boxes go to be repaired.

Hi Brown's!...and other guy in the gray. Smile!! Nice smile Matt, but the camera's over here.
