Volunteers cutting zinc tablets |
On April 26, members of the North Bend Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints gathered to count band-aids and pills for the Imani Project. 30 members of the congregation, located in North Bend, Washington, spent over
70 hours working on supplies for our September, 2014 trip to Kenya. Adults and teens from seventeen families joined us for 1-3 hours on a Friday evening. It was a great opportunity to socialize and count, count, count and bag, bag, bag!
In their 70 hours, the volunteers:
- Counted and bagged 29,600 band-aids of various sizes
- Cut 4205 zinc pills in half
- Counted and bagged 8410 zinc halves
In September, the Imani Project is travelling to remote villages near
the coastal city of Malindi, Kenya to conduct
medical clinics, On that trip, they will distribute 800
health kits to families who attend health classes and clinics.
Well done! Thank you! The North Bend Ward congregation has planned another service project for the Imani Project in North Bend on
May 30 at 7:00 PM at the
North Bend LDS church building. Everyone is welcome to join the effort!
