Dear SCAW friends,We made it back to Colombo last night after a 9-hour bus ride on winding roads.
To date we have distributed 4,500 bedkits, many in the agricultural area of the country where tea plantations are plentiful. The last two distributions will be today (Sunday), and then we go off to the airport tonight.
We got to some really remote parts of the country where the children were very needy.
Daily, we run across a number of the children that we would love to take home with us. It is not uncommon to hear a team member shout "suitcase child" meaning: "Can we take him or her home with us?"
The team has stayed healthy with only a few upset stomachs mostly caused by motion sickness from all the travelling.
Knowing children are the future of any country, you donors should feel good about doing your part to help these children get a good night's sleep, thereby being able to be more attentive in school so that they can get their education.
