Kenya: A Special First Day!

Children in Kenya
Our first distribution in Kenya was special for many reasons; the distribution took place at a school for children with special needs.  The day began by meeting the director who explained to us that the facility had children with disabilities; cerebral palsy, polio and spina bifida to name a few.  These children have been integrated into the local school and community.  Many of the wheelchairs were creatively made on location using bicycle parts, plastic pipe etc.  The children, in particularly those with special needs, were very appreciative and curious about who had donated the bedkits.  After successfully distributing all 600 bedkits, the team had some refreshment before the 3 hour trip back to Nairobi.
