Today marks our half-way through with 3,000 more bedkits to give.
We witnessed another successful distribution. What a wonderful day it has been with all the smiling faces and cheering from the parents. Manafa is Bantu-speaking and uses the Lugeso language, a language so different from the other areas where we have done distributions.
We had an overview of the country-side which gave us the better view of Mount Olgen Mountain. We are staying at a hotel where we only have the side-view of the mountain. The road was meandering and had some hills, with the road becoming narrower allowing only one car at a time, as we approached the distribution. The children could not contain their happiness.
Being a weekend, a number of people came to witness the distribution and there was very good crowd control which resulted in a smooth flow of the distribution — allaying our fears. The people in Manafa are just wonderful and the kids were all smiles with some kneeling showing their respect when receiving the bedkit. It was very touching but we know for sure that today the children will have sweet dreams.
Thanks to the Canadians donors for making a difference in the children’s life and that of the parents.
