Then it was on to the dollar store to get 90 tubes of toothepaste.
Mark is overseeing Diana to make sure she is taking the toothepaste tubes out of the boxes. Greg and Al are trying to look like they know what they are doing.
Dad, Kera and Josh are taking the bars of soap out of their boxes and putting them in ziploc bags.
Colin Rogers is part of quality control, putting all the checked kits on the finished table.
Mark had a great turnout of family and ward members assembling the hygiene kits.
All the finished kits in boxes ready for the humanitarian center.
Mark met with Bro. Cherrington to deliver the hygiene kits to the humanitarian center on August 4.
Mark began his eagle project toward the beginning of the summer. He passed out flyers at church and Dad's work asking for donations for hygiene kits. After 2 collection days at the church and people also dropping off donations at our home by way of supplies and money, he went shopping to buy the rest of all that he needed to make 150 kits. Everyone was so generous. Even those that were out of work and hurting themselves found ways to donate, probably from their own year's supply. Mark was able to finish his project, write it up, and submit it the week before his 18th birthday. WHHEEWW! That was close, Mark. Last Sunday he had his board of review and passed with flying colors. Now it is up to Dad and I, with his leaders, to put together a Court of Honor when his award comes from National Council.
The amazing thing is that besides doing and completing his eagle project during the summer, he also had 8 merit badges to finish. Just look at what one accomplishes when they put their mind to it. Congratulations Mark!
