At the first school we gave 511 bedkits to some very excited children. The children paid little attention to the various rain showers while they waited, except to giggle and shake the water off their heads.
It was interesting to see the layout of the this school with the picture area set up at the bottom of a long, steep cement staircase. The children were very used to running up and down, paying little attention to the obvious dangers.
This afternoon we drove a difficult passageway to a village in the hills. Although the school is new, it has no electricity and the school yard reflects an abandoned work area.
The children were delighted to be there awaiting our arrival. As the day progressed we had to work dilligently to ensure we were able to take the final pictures of the 389 children, as we were losing our natural light.
It is so heart warming and fulfilling to see the happiness in each child as they leave with their bedkits. As we loaded into the van one of the teachers caught us to offer her thanks and gratitude. We were as thankful for her committment as she was for ours.
