SVP Hamper Bags
On the 19th of December, fourth year took part in the annual Saint Vincent de Paul hamper packing. This involved packing hundreds of hampers with food supplies for families in our local area. We worked with the 5th years to pack all the hampers. A few fourth years were put into groups with two or three fifth years. We went down to the sports hall in the morning and we were divided into our different groups. Each group was in charge of packing 20 boxes. The food and supplies were placed around the sports hall and we had to collect different amounts of each item for the hampers. We packed the hampers with biscuits, sweets, tinned foods, bread, meats, tea, cereal and other items. We packed all the hampers in an hour or so. Then we went up to the canteen for some hot chocolate and a cookie. All together it was a very successful morning and I really enjoyed it.
