Honduras: Our biggest distribution

From Honduras 2007 Album 2
Today we visited a village located about 45 minutes out of Tecucigalpa.

It was built with much help from various churches after the devastation of Hurricane Mitch. In 2001 the community was ready for new residents. These people had been living on the river banks and their homes were swept away. They were welcomed to their new homes with the intention of creating a close-knit community which seems to be what was established.

Here we gave out 741 bedkits today -- the biggest single distribution in a day for this year.

The sun was hot but we had keen Rotary Club helpers and of course all the team members wanted to continue until every child left with new clothes, a bedkit on their back, and a smiling face.
