PACK FOR A PURPOSE



The Amazon Divas have been busy packing for their upcoming fellowship to Yachana Lodge. We realize how blessed we are to have this opportunity to travel to another part of the world to experience how others live. Pack for a Purpose is a charitable organization that encourages travelers to pack needed items, such as school supplies, in their suitcase to donate to schools who are in need. Yachana Lodge happens to be in need and a part of Pack for a Purpose. The Amazon Divas knew we could not arrive empty handed. We called upon our fellow Briarwood Bears for help. Our plan was to receive some supplies to add to our own suitcases. As you can see in the picture, we received enough supplies to fill TWO extra suitcases, AND our colleagues have donated money to pay for the suitcases to fly with the Amazon Divas. The Amazon Divas are so appreciative of the gifts received from Briarwood Bears! We are excited to deliver our "special goods" to the children of the Yachana school.
