Bucket Brigade sets new record….11/8/2011

More than 30 volunteers from Trust in Education formed a bucket brigade to pack 20,000 packages of rice–that is worth 120,000 meals–to send to Afghanistan. These enthusiastic volunteers packed 800 buckets in 2 hours–a new record! The meals, donated by Stop Hunger Now, will be send to Afghanistan through the Denton Program. In Kabul, our program staff will distribute them to families of street children, the poor in the villages where we work, and in refugee camps (for internally displaced persons.) This food will make life easier through the brutal Afghan winters. Thanks to Channel 7 news for covering this event, and to all the volunteers who helped!
