Second Hand Sale

On Saturday we had Second Hand Sale at church. It's basically a garage sale - just named differently and there were drinks and snacks sold too. It was all done to raise funds for the Yut Bung (Youth Conference) that's happening in Lae in July - all of the youth from the churches all around PNG coming together for a camp. The items for the sale mostly came from us at 11 Mile - some of our old clothes, books, toys and also various items that other mission workers have left over the last few years. It was a great way to clear out a bit!!! We also made bracelets to sell and there were lots of soccer shirts that were sent over from the Western Australian church soccer league - which were HUGELY popular. I dare say most of the church members now own a FRCA soccer shirt. It was an enjoyable afternoon working together for a common purpose. Enjoy the photos!

Clothes galore

Busy, busy, busy - there was plenty of buyers! 

Love the wig!!

Trudy being security :)

During the morning the boys worked on the school ground. The digger flattened and cleared it while the boys and other helpers moved piles of dirt and dug a drain so the water could flow away, rather than pool on the exact place where the volleyball court is trying to be built!

Luke and Frank pitched in too and got themselves nice and dirty

I love, love, love this girl's hair

I found this at the sale #omajknits Maybe it was one of Mrs Jongeling's creations? 

Me and Grace - she bought one of my old cardigans and was absolutely thrilled with it! Good to know it will be well used here in Lae

All in all, it was a very successful day - raising about K750, so that's great! I had to laugh, the markets finished the second 2:00 chimed. It was almost instant that everyone stopped what they were doing and packed up. No more sales! I've never seen Papua New Guineans move so fast!!
