Tanzania: Unusual travel

Since many children come from distances of over five kilometres, school communities are resourceful in their modes of transportation.

Today we witnessed an unusual mode of transportation when a truck, full of about 200 children drove into the distribution site cheering and smiling. This school had secured a "lorrie" to make two separate drop offs.

Imagine our surprise when we saw this!

The children jumped off the truck in an orderly fashion and were instructed by their teachers to form a line where they were guided to a classroom to be dressed in their new clothes.

Their joy and ours at receiving and giving these gifts made another day of extreme heat and humidity seem refreshing!
