Uganda: Day Three

Flat Stanley in Uganda, from Uganda 2008 Photo Album
We awoke to the rumbling of thunder but had a day of sunshine!

After an 80 km ride to Kayunga we arrived at our site — a muslim school. Nobody was at school today as it was a Ugandan national holiday.

Our 500 bedkit children were so very happy with their gift from our donors.

Sue Small interviewed a number of the recipients to find out how we could improve the bedkit items and was touched at how grateful the recipients and their caregivers (most of the children had been orphaned by AIDS) were.

Flat Stanley from St. Theresa School in Sherwood Park, Alberta joined us today. He found out that the children here wish they could afford to continue going to school and that they love to eat matoke at each meal!

The children at our distribution had fun playing with Stanley!
