Day 8
Today, a total of 429 bedkits were distributed in a town called Kijabe, a missionary town.
The children receiving bedkits included some children from a Displaced Persons camp. One of the children from this camp made a verbal presentation to us and her story of how her family was displaced after the December elections and subsequent rioting left us all in tears. However, "Jennifer" was showing her leadership qualities at the Kijabe Primary School and there was a joyous event at the school as SCAW bedkits were distributed to needy children in the Kijabe area.
This is the first time that Sleeping Children has distributed in Kijabe, a town about an hour outside of Nairobi but 7,000 feet above sea level. The SCAW team also had the opportunity of visiting the Bethany Kids Hospital in Kijabe run by Canadians.
We have one more distribution to go to reach 6,500 bedkits!
