ASB South Carolina 2013: Wednesday Blog
Entry
14 alarms went off on Wednesday morning as
the ASB South Carolina girls groggily woke up for their third day of service.
They were excited for today; they would be making crafts and using their
imaginations to entertain young kids with homemade toys and games.
They arrived at the site, a mere ten
minutes from where they were staying, and unpacked the pipe cleaners, pom poms,
and gluesticks for the day. Excitement grew as the craft templates were passed
around. Ooh and Ahhs emanated from around the table as girls created elaborate
crafts with simple toilet paper tubes and construction paper. An announcement
punctuated the chatter: the children would not be joining everyone in the craft
making.
Although the girls were looking forward to
working with the kids, they were still happy that they got to create crafts for
the kids to receive. Many imagined the faces of the kids when they spot a paper
butterfly or cardboard dinosaur. Work on the crafts continued. A huge jeopardy
board came into existence as girls pasted colored squares and letters onto a
large board.
Hours went by and the tables filled up with
crafts. The program coordinators came around and learned how to make the
different crafts and helped out. They showered the girls with praise for all
their help , but in reality, the girls were more than thankful for the
opportunity!
