5/14's first projects

This weekend, we officially kicked off Grupo 5/14 (our new community service group) with two projects. On Saturday, a small group of us volunteered at a disabled activities center called L'Esplai de Trobada. We had a great time getting to know the kids there, and we're excited about spending more time with them in the weeks and months to come.

On Sunday we set up a table at the Sitges Second-Hand Fair. It was basically a community flea market, and we all had a really good time negotiating and selling stuff! Miquel and Marc were in charge of marketing, and thanks to them we had a table full of fun price tags and signs (all the neon-colored things in the pictures). By the end of the morning, we'd made €335 for future Grupo 5/14 projects, which isn't bad considering that this was our first fundraiser. The whole flea market thing isn't really 'done' in Spain, but as you can see from the pictures, this one was a big success, with a lot of people selling and a lot buying! We also had a really cool sign (thanks, Isma!!), which invited a lot of people to ask us about the church and about our group. All in all, it was a great start! I just wanted to let you guys know how things are coming along, since I know a lot of you have been praying for us in this area!

PS- People kept making offers on Carolina's stroller... so we finally had to put up a 'not for sale' sign on it. It looked pretty funny when we sat her in the stroller with that sign above her head. She drew more attention than anything we were trying to sell!! :)
