Nicaragua: 500 Children in Dario

A five o'clock start today in order to reach our first distribution site in Dario, Nicaragua. It became quite the adventure when the team had to transfer to the back of a local pick-up truck in order to navigate through the deep, gooey mud and gigantic ruts and potholes -- left over from the still-lingering rainy season.

Our distribution was a huge success thanks to the help of many local volunteers and our Rotarian partners. Five hundred very happy children went home with their new bedkits; some by horseback, many sitting in the back of big trucks, and lots on foot for a long walk home.

They will all surely sleep well tonight and so will our team after a very busy day!
