We were quality control for donated paint and sorted them by color.

# data[].attributes.body
We sorted through different paints, all shades and sizes to differentiate the “good paint” and the “bad paint”.

# data[].attributes.body
We went to Mathew 25 Ministries and helped sort usable paint from unusable paint and also sorted them in colors.

# data[].attributes.body
We checked paint cans to make sure they were usable and could be provided to others.

The paint will then get taken to third world countries (ie Haiti) to be used in recreating infrastructure and housing for communities struck by natural disasters.

# data[].attributes.body
Made sure paint that was donated could still be used to paint hospitals or schools in 3rd world countries.

# data[].attributes.body
While we were at Matthew 25 we sorted through paint and determined if the paint was good enough to use again or if the paint was bad then we put in a trash box.

This experience allowed me to put into perspective how just even stirring a can of paint can be helpful for other people throughout the world. This will allow people in third world countries to paint hospitals, schools, houses, etc..

# data[].attributes.body
The paint we sorted through will now get taken to third world countries where they don't have paint readily available.

# data[].attributes.body
Although it may not seem like much this paint will get sent to many third world countries as they can use this paint in hospitals and in schools.

The paint that we went through is going to be taken to third world countries for their schools, hospitals, and homes. Through this it made me appreciate how easily I can go to the store and buy things instead of waiting on people to send us things.

From this experience, I learned the importance of different paints and how certain paints could benefit or inhibit the mixing of a color.
The recipient gave instructions very well. Included all the things we were to specifically do and things we were not to do. He demonstrated everything thoroughly and overall gave great explanation on our task of the day.

There are people out there who need the help, especially those affected by natural disaster and war. The resources available to us in the US shouldn’t be taken for granted, and should be used to help those who need it most.

Matthew 25 was there for those afflicted by tragedies every single time, from the 2011 Japan Tohoku tsunami, to the 2010 Haiti earthquake - and the opportunity to volunteer for such a group should be taken as frequently as possible.

Ensured donated paint was usable and sorted by color before it was shipped to countries in need.

By providing nutritional food to the hungry, clean water to the thirsty, clothing to the naked, affordable shelter to the homeless, medical care to the ill, and humanitarian supplies to those in need.

Matthew 25 gives back to their community. We learned that all the “good paint” that is collected goes out to the world and used all around the world to paint hospitals, homes, churches and many other important buildings to individuals who may not be able to afford paint.

The paint that was sorted through will now be donated to countries in need in order for them to paint new hoarding communities, schools, hospitals, and more.

This experience has broadened my view on how much can be contributed within a community to help support a larger community in need. I can say that I have been a part of something that will aid people in need due to natural disasters and poverty. There are many simple tasks that can be accomplished to help someone that I will never meet, but have made a small impact on their life in some way.

# data[].attributes.body
As we walked through the building I realized how so many people don't have the basic necessities that so many people have in their life and that this organization was helping so many people in poverty. And being a part of something was helping people's life significantly was great and gave us a good opportunity to be able to give back to the community. Which is why I think it's so important to volunteer not just get hours but to be involved in your community and have an opportunity to give back and help others.

This experience has opened my mind to how many different things people may need and isn’t readily available to them. Of course we all think of food, clothes, and toiletries, but I never would’ve thought about paint. It will now go out to counties and people in need where paint was not readily available to them.

# data[].attributes.body
through this I learned that by doing small things to help a lesser community can make a big impact on their lives. also by doing small acts of service can impact more than one community.
