| From Tanzania 2012 |
As we head out of Dar es Salaam at 6 a.m. towards Distribution #5 at Kigogo Fresh it is still dark but we hit traffic as usual and one vehicle horn soon becomes a symphony of horns. Arriving at our site one hour later we decide to give our wonderful driver Saif, the “Driver of the Year Award.”
The beautiful distribution site is at a school where the Head Mistress is a very caring, interested, and involved individual. It shows as the children are full of energy and pride as they sing the Tanzanian National Anthem and their school song for us. Three children and two drums are the percussion section for the school adding rhythm to the songs.
This elementary school has several signs around its small patches of garden and sandy grounds emphasizing the importance of saving the environment and being "green" – "Nitunze Nikutonze."
With mountains and railroad tracks as a backdrop, we distribute 700 bedkits to the neediest of the 2,000 students. If only we had more to give.
