1,500 Kits in Record Time
August 26th, 2008 at 8:41 pm | posted by Virginia SimmonsTons of people came and we finished all the kits in record time. We had 3 hours to assemble 1,500 kits - but it was all done in just one hour.
During that time, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle came by to help out, as did the band DAUGHTRY. We should have video of all that by tomorrow.
‘Til then, I’ll just have to apologize sheepishly for this very amateur camera-work. It does give you a sense of the atmosphere in the room.

YESSSSS! that’s got to be a record, about how many in the room ginny?
actually Tanya mentioned she worked with Women of Faith, and World Vision had a contract for tabling and sponsorships at the Women of Faith conferences, and didn’t ONE have a flyer in the World Vision packets? i’m thinking closer than six degrees of separation here with her and ONE. and this is something i bet little Allie remembers for the rest of her life.
so very cool. your video is fine, and your interviewing skills are fine. i saw that bag of cotton balls on front and thot a bag of ONE bands was being added! did you sneak any in any of the kits? they could qualify as caregiving, the workers knowing we are here for them.
thanx for the posts. keep them coming, i’ll keep up!
stay close, have fun too!

This was a well coordinated event! The entire World Vision staff, Sarah, the volunteer coordinator, and ONE campaign were awesome. Got Cents? had an amazing display. Thanks for putting together such an great event. It felt good to participate in working together for the common good.

This event went perfectly. Everything was so organized and ran smoothly. I met so many wonderful people sharing the same vision. The penny display at “Got Cents?” was breathtaking and really gave a perspective to the numbers of people suffering and dieing from AIDs. Matt and all, you did a wonderful job!
