Today's distribution took place in the Kennedy neighbourhood of Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras.
Before we began, we were seranaded by a small choir of young children who sang a couple of songs with help from their teacher. A great start to the day.
Over 600 bedkits were distributed to children bussed in from several school districts. The distribution ran very smoothly and we were helped by enthusiastic volunteers from the Rotary Club of Tegucigalpa and volunteers from the Healthy Schools project (a department of the government headed by the First Lady of Honduras).
Very recently Honduras has been hit by very heavy rains (it is the rainy season) which has caused severe flooding and damage to many homes and roads. The bedkits were certainly welcomed.
Today, however, we were very fortunate as it was warm and sunny during the dictribution. The Hondurean children have beautiful dark eyes and hair and wonderful white smiles.
Today was a great beginning on our Hondurean journey to help deserving children get a good night's sleep.
