I didn't know I could smile so big while my jaw was on the floor.
In a country where, when you're done with something (whether it be a water bottle or a tire), it is common drop it and walk away, the organizations that are re-using and re-purposing trash are held, by me, in very high esteem. Now we at MOH certainly don't dump our trash on the side of the road. We burn what we can and the rest has it's own place, a place I never like to go, a place people shouldn't really go, but a very necessary place. We do a pretty good job with our trash. Sounds dramatic, but it's just a mini land-fill sort of deal.
But, upon return to MOH after my Christmas time at home, I have learned that we are kicking it up a notch. A beautiful, big, fat, lovely notch.
Not only are we recylcing the thousands upon thousands of cardboard boxes we accumulate each year, we are sending them to ... The Apparent Project!!!!
Even better than recylcing, we are supporting The Apparent Project's mission to employ Haitians in order to keep families in tact, healthy, happy and connected with the gospel of Christ!
Do go to their website and look around. I gifted some of their beaded ornaments at Christmas - they are just lovely! In the future we can expect many of their paper beads to be made by boxes have passed through MOH hands!
I just LOVE when stuff like this connection happens. LOVE IT!
