They clapped, gave thumbs up, blew kisses, clapped, and opened their arms wide as they shouted “Mari” – everyone had fun with an emotional day!
We also continued to have fun with the all 861 kids gathered at this ancestral home of Gulru with the kids all seeing and participating in the bubbles, Frisbees and the excitement of the photo area.

The children receiving the bedkits are all sponsored by local Rotarians who are responsible for selecting the boys and girls according to Sleeping Children guidelines. They arrange transportation to the distribution site as well as food and water since some of the children travel some distance over poor roads from their home villages. Today’s group included some from the local village plus many more from an orphanage funded by one of the Rotarians and his extended family. These children may have a parent but the house conditions are so poor they cannot be fed or go to school.
Tomorrow we do some home visits to families that received bedkits last year – always a special time for the team.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s blog on these visits.
