Day 4
Today’s distribution was in a school of over 2,000 students in Mathare, one of the largest slums in Nairobi.
The work that we do could not be done as smoothly without the many volunteers who help us daily: including Rotoractors (Junior Rotarians), volunteers from various service organizations, school–based volunteers, and several excited senior students.
They assist as needed with preparing students for the photos, arranging the bedkits for distribution, entertaining the students as they wait patiently in line, escorting the little ones to their awaiting parents, and helping us with our attempts to speak Swahili.
What a joy to wish 800 happy Kenyan students “la la viema” – "sleep well."
