In August and September we
were quite involved with victims of neighborhood fires. In those instances we found our efforts to
react quickly to help meet their needs frustrated by the time required to
gather the appropriate materials. While
it would be impossible to predict what will be most needed in each case, there
are a few basic items that always seem to be in demand.
The Boy Scouts have a motto,
“Be prepared.” Yesterday we had an
activity that we hope will allow us to be better prepared to respond more
quickly to the needs of future disaster victims. With the help of members from the Jakarta
South and Tangerang wards we assembled over 2,000 hygiene kits. The kits included: blanket, towel, soap,
shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste.
It was both interesting and
heartwarming to watch the volunteers work together to assemble the kits. While I am sure that the kits will go for a
good cause I also believe there is benefit for those who give service. Not only did the members get to enjoy associating
one with another, they also had an opportunity to serve others.
