Today we tried to help organize some of them into storage cupboards that were already full and needed to be cleaned out before we could get started.
After about 4 hours of cleaning and sorting we were feeling overwhelmed. The clothes seemed to multiply. We stopped for lunch and worked at it for a couple more hours.
There are times during rainy season when they are unable to get clothes dry and it is too costly to use the dryer. For this reason they have lots of extra clothes to keep them going until the sun comes out again. It seems there are enough for 200 children.
We still have about 10 large totes full of clothes to organize. We'll be at it for a few more days.
You'll feel such a sense of accomplishment when the task is done...God uses even mundane tasks for the greater good. BLDC
ReplyDeleteWhat an overwhelming task but what a gift it will be for the mamas to have those clothes all sorted out. You girls are being such a wonderful blessing with all the much needed, but seemingly insignificant, help you are being to the staff. HG
