Al: Tie Dye Results

Today we finished off our tie-dyed shirts by rinsing them and then washing them in hot water to set the colors. In order to conserve water, we only tied up three areas on the shirts and resulted in the shirts being mostly white with a few dyed areas.

Even with all the undyed areas it took about 10 liters of water to rinse each shirt.

Al - 37 days until we leave

Just 37 day until our flight to Japan. This year's team is really excited about the program for VBS at Nokendai and Tokorozawa. We had a team meeting this morning where we focused on singing with hand motions and practiced tie-dying articles of clothing. We are debating about tie-dying t-shirts or socks or perhaps handkerchiefs. We are concerned about the amount of water it takes to rinse the t-shirts after we let the dye set in Japan.

Anyway here are some photos of the team as they tie-dye shirts and socks.
