Kenya: Kitui

After an overnight stay in Kitui, we headed down to the town stadium.

From Kenya 2012

There we were greeted by many parents and their children who were all dressed in their bright yellow, blue and orange outfits. The governor and the mayor said a few words and the SCAW team were back working hard distributing 600 bedkits.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned in our blogs to date is the fact that, at each distribution, we try to interview a few parents to learn which items in the bedkits are most valuable and what possible improvements might be made in the future. Through the course of those interviews, we also learned that now is beginning of their dry season and March is the most difficult month for them as they don't have much access to water.

But today these worries could be briefly put aside, with the sun shining, the music playing, and the children smiling and dancing.

The SCAW team had another truly joyous experience.
