Wow, my first trip with SCAW and my first day in Nicaragua.
Last night we were greeted by the Rotarians and Rotaracts at the airport
with lots of smiles and hugs. Two people from the SCAW team have been
here in past years so it was a renewing of past friendships. This
morning was the official "kick off" with a meeting to discuss changes in
the bedkit from last year and review the process of distribution. The
Rotarians are becoming known for distributing SCAW bedkits and are often
asked when SCAW will be returning to Nicaragua. We gave them some lapel
pins and were surprised to receive Rotary caps. They invited us to visit
the warehouse where the kits are assembled and stored. I was blown away
when I saw 4,000 mattresses stacked, waiting for the children - these
children are the poorest of the poor and the kits are a true blessing in
their lives.
