Jambo from Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania!

Our team of six travelling volunteers arrived here on Wednesday night - to be greeted at the airport by the lovely Mama Wandoa - our overseas counterpart. We visited her home to see the hundreds upon hundreds of assembled bedkit bags for the children, filling up three rooms in her home, piled high to the ceilings.

Outside were two huge trucks filled with the mattresses for our first day of distribution (700 bedkits). The sight of all these bags and mattresses was overwhelming - knowing the amount of work that it took to put everything together, and all the efforts of Mama and her local volunteers, it made everything feel very real.
