Honduras: Our first distribution

From Honduras Photos
"Hola, Canada," from Team Honduras 2010.

We finished our first day of distribution quite early. We were situated in the central court of a School for the Blind in mid-town Tegucigalpa. The students were on holiday for a week and home visiting their families. Thus the school was empty but for the children bussed to the distribution from neighbouring barrios.

We photographed 523 gorgeous kids and enjoyed every minute.

My memory for the day was the interaction of the soldiers who will be present at each distribution with the little children. There they were with their camouflage jumpsuits and strapped on holster guns -- but they had the kindest faces and gentlest ways as they helped the little ones carry their bedkits to the busses. I will remember this contrast and this love.

Tomorrow we are back to work for Day 2.
