Stockpiling Food
Megan Bloemker is responsible for coordinating our ACTION Zambia short-term teams. With an eye for detail and a gift for administration, she has devised all sorts of schedules and documents to aid in our preparation for visiting short term teams. Crossroads Christian Church will be our second team to come in 2010. Women on our team have volunteered to cook meals in advance. We then freeze them so that they are ready to go whenever the team is ready for them. Megan has a master meal plan and knows just how much food is needed. She makes sure that a fresh assortment of fruits, vegetables and ingredients are on hand at all times. Before a team arrives, she goes on a shopping spree and buys around three carts full of food. I snapped a pic of Megan and Jailos showing off the food purchased for the upcoming team.
We’re impressed with Megan’s abilities to pull such events together. This is a much needed and I hope appreciated gift. I haven’t done it, but I know it’s a lot of work to host teams.
