Honduras: Day 1!

For the first time in so many days, there was no rain!  I have monitored the weather for a few weeks before our departure and it rained every day, after all, this is the Hurricane season in Honduras.  Today, the Sun helped our picture taking, giving us a bright sunny day with a refreshing breeze that made it comfortable for the 654 children as they lined up waiting for their photos to be taken.


We selected the site, arranged the photo Bedkit to reflect a clear identification of the contents that your $35.00 donation will provide to a child who should have these in a normal household, but doesn't.  A new addition to the kit this year is a colourful backpack which the children  loved.  

Our team settled quickly and smoothly doing our individual tasks as if we have done this together for a long time.

With the assistance of the Rotarians (both husband and wife), The First Lady's group of young people headed by the ever capable and efficient Miguel who have helped in the SCAW distribution for many years, teachers and others, our first day was successfully concluded without a hitch.


Later, our team visited the Park at the tip of one of the mountain that surround the City of Tegucigalpa. The huge statue of Christ with His hands stretched out towards the City giving his blessing makes us aware that Honduras is heading towards a brighter future through their Children.
