They gave us each a coffee mug for helping! |
Hello! My name is Kristal, and I grew up in a small town in Texas where the only thing to do was play PacMan at the laundromat. I started this blog when I moved to Scotland, and I'd like to begin again. Let the adventures begin.

Volunteering at the Aberdeen Seafarers' Centre
Today my Bible study group went to the Seafarers' Centre to help wrap the gifts they give to the men. That is a really nice place. They have a lounge with free coffee, tea, water, and juice. Free wifi. They have a computer room and an entertainment room that has a DVD player, game console, and yes.. a karaoke machine! They run this place completely from charity. Each year they go out to the ships at sea to deliver gifts to the men. We wrapped beanies (winter hats) that were stuffed with toiletries, pens, pencils, candy, and a few other goods. They are open every weekday right now from 6-10PM. Get down there and volunteer. You don't have to be a wrapping pro, I'm not.
