From Tanzania 2011 |
Helping to dress the children in their new t-shirts and "khangas," their joy and excitement was so obvious that we had to chuckle when one little boy came skipping to the line. And to complete his enthusiastic venture he skipped all the way out with his new bedkit.
At the site today we helped to dress 700 children from 5 different schools. Mama's volunteers maintained an orderly process as they first called out the names of the recipients, then led them to the dressing area and finally to the line to get their pictures taken.

Unfortunately, because some of the children had to walk from a distance, they missed the calling of their names. But, as they do so well, Mama Wandoa and her team made sure every child was taken care of and left the distribution smiling.
The children today were calm and settled nicely into the process. We were so comfortable with the groups today that we managed to get some of them to laugh uncontrollably as they tried to hide their laughter but simply couldn't. "CHECKA!" [SMILE]
We thank all of our donors and only wish that everyone could experience the laughter and the thanks that we have received from the children over the last two weeks. "ASANTE SANA." [SLEEP WELL]
