We’re going RAFT’ing

I signed up for my second volunteering event.  I thought this one would be more fun than the last one.  I also picked this one, because it was for RAFT (Resource Area for Teaching).  My sister and my brother are both teachers.  I know first hand how difficult it is for them and how under funded they are.

RAFT makes different packages for teaching from various donated materials.  One of the project I was working on today was to convert hanging file folders into something useful.  We would cut off the hangers off the folders.  Those are to be used later for a cover over some papers for a notebook.  The metal is save to make mobiles.  Nothing is wasted.  I found some interesting stuff left behind on those folders.  I found some pictures negatives that someone forgot to take out.  One of the girl found a flirty post-it note one of them.
