Day 2: Ciudad Cataluna, Honduras

Hello, we had a great distribution this morning, one of our smaller ones, 425 bed kits . With hurricane Sandy offshore, rain threatened this morning which required us to set up in a classroom. Thankfully, with exception of a few drizzles, it did not rain.

The children were delayed coming to us this morning due to unrest in their area. They were very anxious to get off the busses and get their bed kits.

Sheila and I were in charge of arranging the children to have their pictures taken. I love this job because we  get a chance to interact with the children while they wait. Although there is a language barrier we always  have a very entertaining time with them.  It become apparent very quickly which children are characters. The children love to impress us with the little English words that they know.
We could not distribute the kits with such efficiency without the help of the Rotarians and the young adults from the First Lady's Healthy School Helpers program.

Our team of six all share the same sentiment that the best part of the distribution is watching the smiles of the children as they receive their bed kit.
