Tanzania: 7,000 bedkits delivered

For those of you following this blog, there will be one last post from the Tanzania team later today or early tomorrow, but I couldn't let the day go by without telling you this:

I just added 7,000 to the running total on the home page of the Sleeping Children Around the World website which brings our total up to 954,850 — the number of children helped by SCAW since 1970.

Fifteen minutes ago (10 am EDT) I was able to have an IM (instant message) chat with team leader Linda Webb in Tanzania. She was pleased to let me know that the distribution is complete. The team is now taking showers and cleaning up for a meeting with Mama Wandoa and her team to do a final evaluation this evening at 6 pm (Tanzania time). The team has been pleased to read all the comments from friends and family at home.

Watch for the final blog post tomorrow.
