Jensen is striving to complete his Eagle. Thus the Eagle project. Two young men from our home ward are going throughout South and mostly Central America. They have organized a non-profit organization called Care-o-van! Throughout their travels they are visiting orphanages and teaching the children about oral hygeine and giving them oral hygeine packets. For Jensen's Eagle project, he obtained donations from dentists and orthodontists in our area and put together 200 oral hygeine kits for Care-o-van to take with them on their journey.

With the help of Boom's YSA ward, for FHE the kids got together to help put together Jensen's oral hygeine kits. We have a great group of YSA kids. They were excited and very willing to help.

Easton even had a chance to help out. His job was to seal the bags!

Each kit had a toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, and directions card in Spanish.

If you are interested in knowing more about Care-o-van or want to make a donation go to
www.care-o-van.org The site shows a blog of all their adventures. These young men are 22 and have had this dream since they were in 9th grade. Just proves that dreams do come true and that if you desire something enough, you can accomplish your dreams!

Good luck to Jensen and his Eagle and also to Care-O-Van!
PS....They are hoping to get to Costa Rica....we hope so! It is in their plans to visit Elder Whittaker!
