Members of avonworth High School’s Honor Society would have preferred wearing the clothing articles they were packing rather than readying them for distribution to Third World countries serviced by the international charity World Vision. But the mountains of shirts proclaiming Pittsburgh as winners of Super Bowl XLV will never be worn by diehard “ if only” fans or become eBay curiosity items. Instead, students sorted, folded and packed the shirts produced by Reebok and shipped to local retailers, preparing them for distribution anywhere they are needed -- except in the United States or Canada. According to a World Vision intern, the charity has received “loser” clothing not only from the Steelers, but also from the Jets and the Bears. In addition to the shirts, the organization has received caps, bags and other franchise merchandise. Robbie Williams, a senior at Avonworth said that seeing all of the shirts brought back memories of the Super Bowl, “but I know they’re going to a good cause. The NHS students provided their services at the international charitable organization, which has a branch in Aleppo Township. The charity is one of the largest relief and development organizations in the world. French teacher and NHS sponsor Stacy Hart explained that many companies donate items such as shoes, clothing, school supplies and personal care items. “Volunteers sort through the donations to prepare them for shipment to Third World countries. This involves spending time in folding clothing and checking the quality and appropriateness of items to make sure that nothing that is being sent might be offensive.” NHS member Kelsey Knox, another of the students who met at the center, said, “I think World Vision is a great way to volunteer. It’s easy and fun, but it makes a big impact for those who need it.” Pictured above packing the shirts are Stephen Carraway, Michael Swarlis, Kelsey Knox, Kaleigh McCafferty, Amy Templin, Samantha Weiss, Caroline Schaper, Anna Kluitenberg, Robbie Williams, Kiersten Erlanson and Katie Werley.
