wheeking excitedly when they hear me
rustling the lettuce bag in the morning
and run around in circles. The boys still
aren’t eating fresh veggies very much
but the girls didn’t either when I first
got them. They’re so cute and have such
interesting personalities! I’ve been
trying to find homes for a couple of the
girls (I decided I like the boys best!) but
so far nothing much has come of it.
Reconstructing their home has me
reminded of one time I volunteered
to help build a Habitat for Humanity House for some friends of mine.
They had several kids and qualified
for a Habitat House. I had done some
construction work and knew how to
swing a hammer with the best of them
(as you all know, since that time I
have built my parents garage with the
help of my oldest brother) but I was
one of the youngest there volunteering, and I was (and still am, for that
matter) a female. I just don’t have as
much strength as a male does! Darn
that testosterone! So my job was to
caulk where the wall joins against the
floor. I walked all the way around that
house inch by inch caulking until my
fingers were sore. But the whole time
I kept thinking, “This will help keep
them warm in the winter and not let
in as many drafts.” I have always liked
volunteering and helping people.

Feed My
Starving
Children Event
For the past three years Brighton
Chapel has hosted food packing events
in partnership with Feed My Starving
Children. Feed My Starving Children is a
non-profit organization that has been
restoring children back to health all
over the world for over 25 years. In
2012, over 1,000 volunteers from 19
area churches and from our community gathered over a two-day period
to pack over 373,000 meals. The goal
for 2013 is to pack 500,000 meals for
hungry children. Many volunteers are
needed to reach this goal.
This year’s event will be held at the
MEC (Michiana Event Center) in Howe
on Friday, September 20, and Saturday,
September 21, and will be broken up
into 2-hour shifts on both days. The
process is a simple and streamlined
assembly line. The work is fun and easy
and there are positions available for
volunteers of all ages and capabilities.
