Stake Helping Hands Day

We had a very busy day on Saturday at the Stake activity in aid of National Helping Hands Day. It was held at the Newstead Heights School and the Devonport Stake had invited as many families as possible to participate. I think we had well over 100 people attend on the day. It was held in two three hr shifts and our job was to make up 100 communication books for kids with disabilities who attend Newstead Heights and St George's Schools. We had to cut, laminate and cut pages again. Each child had around 100 pages in their book - all of which had to be laminated and cut out. It was a very enjoyable day with everyone getting into the spirit of things. You can see the joy that comes from service as the mood and spirit of the day was very uplifting as everyone worked together to make a difference in the lives of these very special children.

Here are a few pics of the busy workers..................
