Well, we were back to our usual wake up time of, you guessed it, 5:30. Left at 6:30 and arrived after an interesting bridge-crossing experience at our distribution site. The ladies (Linda, Liz, Lisa. and Mama) were in charge of selecting the photo shooting area and site-flow for the children. Dave and Mama Wandoa graciously approved of our choice. We began with individual labels and they went very smoothly in the morning. We hit a bit of a snag and had time to tour around the local area, all the while being followed by many villagers who were welcoming to us. In the afternoon, Bob and Gary were handed over the picture-taking duties and Dave will critique the results tonight with his trained eye.
During our break, Gary learned from a local teacher that she and a group of children had walked 10 miles to the distribution site. After receiving their bedkits, they then had a 10-mile walk back home. We will never complain about our Canadian travel distances again.
We completed our distribution around 4 pm -- a bit of a later day -- but still managed to reach our goal of 700 children. It was neat to see some children still carrying their bedkits home when we were on our way back to Dar. Managed to get some photos of this. Made us all feel good to see them arriving at their intended destinations.
Happy Anniversary to a special person. Thanks for a great 37 years!
Keep on truckin'.
Love, Team Tanzania 2009
