Packing, packing, packing...

On any given day at WWLAB, you can hear packing tape being stretched across boxes and then 'rrrippp' the boxes being sealed securely.
Here is John, one of our regular Thursday Volunteers helping to pack up 10 boxes of microscopes and supplies that are headed to a container in Minnesota with Global Health, and then onto Nigeria. (Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria).
Besides the trips that are prayed for so faithfully, there is so much more that goes on within WWLAB. So much 'behind the scene' work that  not many 'see' or hear about. Without the help of volunteers like John and many, many others, the work of WWLAB would be much slower in getting supplies to the field. Besides adding their help with packing and repairing, it is fun to hear the 'banter' and laughter that goes on with our volunteers and staff.
Thank you to all our volunteers!

No job is too small...

Where would we be without the help from our Volunteers?

Here is Marge, a volunteer that comes in to help package tourniquets and Rapid Tests. She always does it willingly and with a terrific smile :) Thank you, Marge!
Terry (Duncan Aviation), along with a group of his friends and co-workers, collects calendars for us throughout the year, and brings them in so they can be sent with supplies and equipment to the missionaries on the field. To date, he has collected over 130 calendars! As Peggy packs up boxes, she lovingly goes through the calendars and sends a couple along as a special gift to our missionaries.
Many thanks goes to Marge, Terry and Peggy for making life on field feel a little more like 'home'.

Where do you see yourself volunteering at WWLAB?
No job is too small, and no act of kindness is insignificant.
