The SJHS Service Learning class went on a field trip February 27 to the LDS Humanitarian Center. Humanitarian Center employees and volunteers put hygiene kits together for people all around the world. The students spent two and a half hours packing 3,000 sanitation kits. The kits had four toothbrushes, tube of tooth paste, two towels, two combs, and two bars of soap. Sanitation kits go to people who are homeless or have had a catastrophe in their area such as earthquakes, tornados, or hurricanes.

I learned that even though I’m only one person I can help many people have better lives.” Mackenzie Morris, another service learning student, said, “We made hygiene packets for people all over the world. We did it because it made us students feel like we were doing something good.”
