It's In The Bag . . .

Berkley High School really put it in the bag - collecting 17,000 Ziploc bags in 3 days for the 2009 South Africa Medical Mission. We are SOOOOOO grateful for their help - these donations WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!

We will transport all of the medication in the larger bags to keep bottles separated and protected. Then, when we arrive, the 'pharmacists' will prepare the prescriptions and package and label each one of them in an individual ziploc bag.

Student Leadership sponsored the event and they did an AWESOME job. There were posters, announcements, videos, and even the windows were painted with reminders. The Chairperson for the event, TK, did a great job organizing, collecting, and motivating. Pretty Impressive for a 15 year old! Thank you so much.

In all 17,000 bags were collected.

Way to Go Berkley High School - You Make a Difference In This World!!!!
