Day two kids club in Atlanta
So here we are at the second day of Kids Camp. It was much better weather today and we had 10 kids. Grant was the teacher today and he did a good job. The kids ate working hard and definitely representing Christ to others. I'm so proud of them.
Ritzy Rags ... How it's done
First stop is the receiving room where all the donated clothes are brought and sorted in to like colors.
Next there washed in the laundry room to make sure they are clean.
Next the clothes are shredded to make it possible to use in the giant looms.
There are several looms able to make several items per day.
The clothing stryps are woven on the looms in various patterns to eventually make what you see below.
All of these are samples. Some will be rugs, some will be hand bags. They will sell these online through their website (soon to be launched) which in turn will allow wages to be paid to the homeless ( actually formerly homeless since they are living in apartments) to receive a steady pay check and to learn various job skills.
Day two in Atlanta
So this morning were scraping and painting a place called " Ritzy Rags". They employ the homeless who live in the apartments we were working at yesterday. They take old clothes and turn them into rugs and hand bags using giant looms. It's really neat stuff.

A little R&R
So after a long day of dirt, sweat, kids, candy, and work, were just chillin' before dinner. Whew! What a day. (-:

Our first kids club
Well we arrived at the park for our first kids club and it started to storm. Lightning, driving rain and lots of wind. So were waiting to see if it will stop. It's not looking so good.
Day one in Atlanta
•
Well were on the first project of the day. Were working at an apartment complex on a walking trail. The apartment complex is reserved for the homeless as housing paired with Christian social workers to help provide housing and job training. Were helping to make the grounds just a little more esthetically pleasing so that those who live here might be able to be proud if where they live, to be able to give them a little dignity back if we can.
