Kenya: Day 3!

Today we travelled about hour from Nairobi to a school/orphanage that was founded and supported by the Rotary Club of Nairobi.  Our mission was to distribute 500 bedkits.  The school was founded 13 years ago and once the elementary school kids got older the Club started a high school. 



With the help of school and Rotary volunteers along with teachers, we organized the children into groups of 50’s then 8’s and downward until we were taking photos of just one child at a time.  We found a lovely shaded spot to take the photos thus trying to avoid high contrast in the photos.  The process worked very smoothly and the kids were delighted with their new bedkits. We began our interviews with parents in order to determine if there are areas in which we can improve.  The parents were very appreciative of the gifts that our SCAW donors provided.  They commented on the quality of the items in the kits.



After the distribution we were served a lovely cup of tea and Kenyan style donuts (donut holes intact) and visited the orphanage. 



Tomorrow is a travel day and we will be out of Nairobi for the next 4 days.  We will blog if we can find internet service in the areas we visit.
