After our overnight stay in Juigalpa, our bedkit distribution took place on the church grounds in Acoyapa. This is ranching country and sweet little cowboys and cowgirls came for their photos and bedkits.
Once again, the co-ordination of all aspects of the bedkit distribution was very well organized by the Rotarians and their numerous enthusiastic volunteers.
On distribution days we interview parents regarding their thoughts about the mattress and items in the bedkit. It has been unanimous that all bedkit items are genuinely welcomed. Parents tell us that because SCAW provides these items for their child, it frees up their already limited financial resources for other necessities.
As we left the community, we witnessed excited children and family members travelling home by foot and on colourful trucks and buses with bedkits piled high!!....Another rewarding day for Team Nicaragua 2012.
