Our distribution is complete. We return to Canada with a scrapbook of
memories: smiling, grateful children,
new friends and varied experiences that will last a lifetime. We came in rainy season, but brought unexpected sunshine. Our focus was on the children, but we cheered with enthusiasm when Honduras beat Mexico in a
World Cup qualification match, their first win ever over a formidable and
traditional rival. Yes, we did accept
the thanks for bringing both good weather and a tremendous win with our
arrival.
Our work in delivering 5,642 bedkits was insignificant compared to the dedicated labour of our Overseas Partners, the Rotary Club of Tegucigalpa. Our OVO’s have prepared for several months for this distribution: procuring items for the bedkits; selecting the children of this year’s bedkits; choosing the sites for each of the nine distributions; ensuring security; inspiring many local volunteers to assist with the demands of the daily distributions and ensuring that every donated dollar was spent wisely and effectively. In addition, the members extended to us most generous hospitality and warm friendship that we will always treasure. Their commitment to the SCAW project is outstanding and they surpassed all expectations by themselves donating money to increase the number of bedkits over and beyond that given by SCAW.
