Today was the second day of our Honduran 2013 Bedkit Distribution and our team drove up the steep hills of Tegucigalpa to arrive at the Republica de Mexico school. We were honoured to have the Mexican Ambassador to Honduras there to welcome us and say a few words. The school principal also made a speech and said many kinds words about SCAW and all the generous donors that ensure that so many of her needy students receive the wonderful bedkits. The Tegucigalpa Rotarians have everything so well organized at the schools, with so many of the members and wives helping our team at every step of the way in the distribution process.
As a first time travel volunteer, today it was my turn to be directly involved in actually handing a bedkit to each child. What an amazing experience! Many times as they said a very heartfelt "Gratias" to me, I wished I could somehow send that little child's appreciation and loving smile back to all the donors who make this all possible.....so "Mucho Gratias"!!!
