It was an early morning start for team Uganda for our first day of
distribution. The incredible ladies of the Inner Wheel met us at our
bus for a two hour drive through Kampala traffic to the site of a
primary school very near to Lake Victoria. On the way we saw the homes
of the children that we would soon meet and many parents were able to
accompany their children as it was a Sunday.
Many other families were there watching who were not receiving a bed
kit and were hopeful that we might return another year for their
children as well. 
We were greeted with smiles and cheers as we
introduced ourselves and showed the contents of the
bedkits. We were pleasantly surprised that the biggest cheer was for
the school supplies: twelve exercise books, a math set and a school bag
made
by a small local cottage industry. Other items that particularly excited them were the mosquito net and the mattress. All of our team members were very moved by the children's enthusiasm particularly since several of our team members are first time SCAW travelers.
