Honduras 2013: The Team Has Arrived!!

We have arrived In Honduras,greeted at the airport by a contingent of The Rotary Club of Tegucigalpa and their wives. The media is there to greet us as well, interviewing us for the evening news. Perhaps we were not the most elegant or articulate, somewhat tired from the long trip and very early morning start, but we were enthusiastic, spreading the word about the upcoming SCAW project, delivering bedkits to over 5000 children.
A quick trip to check out the venue for the first distribution and we were given  our first glimpse of the colourful bedkits. A knapsack has been added to the kit this year.


Our reception was highlighted by a tasty, traditional Honduran lunch at the home of Ramon and Conchita, also attended by many of the Rotarians who have worked diligently to make this distribution a reality. It was an opportunity to renew friendships for those members who have worked In Honduras before and a wonderful insight for new team members of the warm and generous hospitality that the SCAW teams are always given.
It was a great start to what will be a most rewarding time as we continue the SCAW dream, bringing smiles and comfort to the children of Honduras. We look forward to our first distribution.

The Team: Steve Allen, Kathy Grant, Karen Morgan, Linda Taiajbee, Irene Harrison (team leader) Jim Gibson
