Honduras: First distribution complete

Children waiting for bedkits From Honduras 2007 Album 1

Our first Honduras distribution is over and 511 smiling little children, aged 6-12, left the Escuela Jose Angel Ulloa school site with their very own bedkits!

They were so excited when we arrived at the site on one of the many hillsides overlooking Tegucigalpa.

We were met by crowds of parents and children greeting us with "Hola." and excited chatter. This particular site was not closed-in due to construction of more school classrooms and facilities -- another project of the Rotary Club that is working so hard with Sleeping Children to organize all the arrangements for the bedkits, the school children to receive the bedkits, and the various and sundry needs of the six SCAW travelling team members.

It was a warm sunny day as we began the distribution but heavy rain clouds came over the mountain tops and soon after we left the downpour began.

We were so pleased that the children all got home, up and down the mud road hills with their bedkits before the rain came -- a good beginning!
