Kenya: Mukuru

From Kenya 2012
Another fabulous day here in Kenya.

Today we drove to the Mukuru slum located 10 kilometers outside of Nairobi to give 600 children their bedkits and we know that even after all the excitement of today, they will be having a much bettter sleep tonight.

Each bedkit contains a set of brightly coloured pajamas (more commonly called a sleep set here). This is the outfit that the children change into for their special photographs to be sent to each kind donor.

Now try and imagine a grassy field filled with 600 children running and playing in their pajamas of canary yellow, or neon orange, or brilliant turquoise.

What a sense of joy and happiness for the children, for the Rotary volunteers, and for our SCAW team.
