As we mentioned previously, we were recently selected by the Art Institute of Colorado for a project with one of their classes. We had the opportunity to have our first meeting with our group of students, Ronnie, Lauren, Davina, Phillip, and Josiah. We were so impressed.
They told us about themselves and background, it was so nice to hear such great stories and even some tales of other community projects and mission work. We were impressed with their questions for us as well. We loved seeing their reactions as we showed them some of the thank you letters we had received from kids that were the recipients of donated bikes that 3t had fixed up and brought to them. At the end of the meeting I believe they were as excited to work with us as we are with them.
This group is going to help us brand Project Re-Cycle into the full bodied brand that it deserves. We were supposed to meet again last Friday but that little storm that was supposed to be little but instead shut the city down got in the way. We are excited to meet with them later this week instead and see what they have begun to put together for us and Project Re-Cycle. We are so grateful to have them on our team!

Who, What, Where, When, and Why
We are very excited here at 3t Ministry today. We have a very special guest blogger that we hope will be making a regular appearance. Ali is a regular volunteer with our Project Re-Cycle program and is a high school student as well as a gifted writer. Please welcome Ali to our blog and see what 3t Ministry means to her!
Who, What, Where, When, and Why are five words that relate to anything in life; WHO was the first person who landed on the moon? WHAT day is it today? WHERE is the best place to grab a bite to eat? WHEN is the spring dance? WHY am I writing this? The five W’s (Who, What, Where, When, and Why) tell my life-changing-experience of what it means to be a 3T Ministry volunteer.
“Who is going to make a difference?” That is what me dad has always said to me. All I have ever wanted was to be able to put a smile on someone’s face, and the satisfaction of knowing that I helped to make a positive change in someone’s life.
I am a 3T Ministry volunteer along with my two sisters, my mom, and my dad, who is the founder of 3T Ministry. Being a volunteer consists of time and talents. It is helpful and gratefully appreciated when treasures are donated, but being a volunteer and doing hands on work is an experience that will truly change your life.
This past summer I volunteered at the 3T Ministry bike drive as a face painter. Even though my job as a face painter had nothing to do with bikes, I was there to make sure that the children were able to walk away with a smile across their cherubic faces. I remember a little boy at about the age of seven, riding around on HIS Spiderman bike without a care in the world. His black tires raced across the hot pavement turning left and right, his smile as wide as the ocean showing his white, crooked, eight year old teeth. That is what made working through the scorching summer day bearable, and watching that child ride away, full of happiness, on his new bike.
At the end of the day that is what makes volunteering for 3T Ministry worth the while. To be alive is merely existing, but life is meant for living, so make a difference and start living. ~ Ali
