700 children came by bus from as far away as 100 km; a journey that took four hours crowded in very old busses. They were organized at a park two blocks away and then marched to this warehouse distribution site with the help of uniformed officials who blocked traffic for their safety.
We marvel at the Rotarians’ ability to make arrangements as needed to fulfill the promise to donors that we will deliver 100% of their generosity for the children.
All of the boys and girls were excited to receive their gifts and today’s experiences will bring lasting memories for them and their families – and, of course, it was accompanied by playing, bubbles galore, and lots of fun as the kids had their pictures taken.

Tomorrow’s distribution will be highlighted by the sharing of “in memoriam” bedkits for Mari Peterson who along with her husband Rein were to be part of the Bangladesh 2009 team. Her subsequent illness prevented that from happening.
Rein has donated bedkits with the wish they will be given to children from one area and we are having this special distribution tomorrow at one of the Rotarian’s ancestral homes. Tomorrow’s distribution will be very special.
