GetThere Purple team sand and stain for the kids

I was assigned to the Purple team and Marie was our captain. We were tasked with staining picnic tables, and the playground equipment. Marie was an integral part of our team and made sure our team had the right supplies to accomplish our task. She worked along side of us and at one point tolded me how excited the children will be to have the playground equipment renewed. You could tell she was envisioning the children playing on the clean, refurbished equipment. At one point it started to rain and most of the team ran inside, except for a few of us and Marie. She was dedicated to make sure our project was a success.

GetThere Green Team

We had the opportunity to work with several single mom’s. On the Green team, our mom’s were Comfort and Lori.

With brushes in hand, a scramble for plastic to cover the floors, primer to help with the walls, etc. we began working to brighten the temporary homes of two beautiful mom’s who have struggled in life and have made very hard, yet positive changes for themselves and the lives of their children.

The Sabre Team drove 100 miles South of Santiago to give our new friends a small intangible gift. To our big surprise, we were impressed by all the love and affection we started to receive the moment we arrived there. Our “grannies” gave us the most gorgeous and exquisite gift anyone can ever get…..The Power of Sharing
