winning for a good cause

Doing work that really helps someone is very satisfying. This evening my family, friends and I worked together on a Kids Against Hunger assembly line packaging nutritious dried food to be sent to Haiti.  This is a really good program and if your church or other group is looking for a fun, satisfying way to help fight hunger around the world I highly recommend it. Even more satisfying is to be the team that fills 12 boxes first (that's 432 bags of a dried vitamin-rich, protein-full mixture. Each bag makes six meals, so 2,592 meals), and wins free t-shirts and bragging rights. We went on to fill several more boxes but were the first to 12, so yea! us. I never think of myself as particularly competitive, but I must admit I love to win.
