Day
three of the Ugandan distribution took us from the city of Jinja (The
Source of the Nile) 85 kilometres to the town of Kajuki. Most team
members were awakened early around 5:00 a.m.
with a heavy downpour and continuous lightening. Our travel up country
was on a reasonable road for the first hour. The road quickly changed
to our roughest ride of our distributions so far. This rural road
showed signs of heavy rain fall overnight however at several places
people were washing their bikes in the puddles. Earlier dust masks were
distributed but as a result of the heavy rain they were unnecessary. 
As we approached the distribution site our bus drew unusual attention from both adults and children.
Our
VOPs (Volunteer Overseas Partners), The Innerwheel of Kamapala, had the distribution site and
the children well organized ahead of our arrival. Despite the intense
heat the distribution moved along at a steady pace. The parents and
children were very appreciative of the special gift of the bed kit.
This was demonstrated by the childrens' sincere thank you, spoken in
English, accompanied by a polite bow. The women caregivers broke out in
their distinctive expression of thank you when their child reached them
with their new bedkit, "Kalulu".
