Their children have been selected to receive bedkits and today is the big day. The process that started months before our arrival has finally come to an end, I can only describe it to you as Christmas morning. A Christmas morning that only happens once in a lifetime.
Four months prior to this day a group of volunteers attend the local elementary schools where they interviewed teachers and tribal elders to determine the most needy families in the area. The child chosen must be between 6 and 12 years of age and only one child per family is selected. When most families have between 5 and 6 children you can only imagine the need.

The need to provide often as a single mother. No wonder they cling to the fence longingly looking inside.
