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.
