My efforts have ramped in organizing the volunteers and it is clear how much preparation is needed now in advance of the quints' arrival home.
My first focus is to make sure I have my list of volunteers as complete as possible. If you have any interest in helping the Jones family (and have not already contacted me through the following email address), please e-mail me at jonesquints@yahoo.com and let me know your name, phone number and how you know Gavin & Carrie (or where you read about them).
I will then be sending the list of volunteers a questionnaire to complete regarding type(s) of help you're interested in and day(s) you are available.
A huge need will be for volunteers overnight. Although the schedule might be adjusted slightly, it will likely be 11:00pm-7:00am. My goal is to have enough volunteers that you only need do it once every two weeks. We will provide full training and you will not be alone during the night shift.
For those friends from out of town who would like to plan a visit to Dallas, please send me those dates so that I can co-ordinate local volunteers around out of town volunteers.
Thank you for your support and I am excited to pull together as many volunteers as we can for this wonderful family and their precious kids.

This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We (usually) live in Papua New Guinea and are working to support Bible translations in progress around the country. Gavin is a helicopter pilot and Carrie is a Public Health worker, primarily working with HIV/AIDS awareness. Isaac, our first son, was born in January, 2004. Our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, were all born on August 9th, 2012 and a whole new adventure is just beginning!

If we've already been volunteering do you need us to do this, or are we already on your list?
ReplyDeleteGreat question - no, if you have already signed up on the volunteer list then you don't need to do so again.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
