Almost a year ago our Girl Scout troop visited Medical Teams International in Tigard, OR to learn about what this organization does and how they help change the world. We toured the "Real Life" exhibit which walks visitors through the eight regions of the world MTI works their magic. The exhibit is emotional, impactful, and stirring without being graphic - it is very well done.
This visit inspired the girls to organize others to put together Hope Kits. They put together a presentation and a flier, then presented their project to our area Girl Scout leaders as well as a couple of service organizations. They collected and repackaged kits, then figured out what they were missing and purchased the rest.
WHAT WE DID:
Complete our kits and deliver them to Tigard.
HOW LONG:
4 hours
IMPACT:
More than 100 families in other parts of the world will have soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes and combs for about a year.
WORTH IT?
Yes. And it feels so good to be doing something that we will never see the results of.
