After an early wake up, (5:15) we set out to avoid the horrendous morning rush hour
traffic, arriving 2 hours later at the school site. Today there were 500 bedkits waiting for
distribution. It was an easy first day
for our 2 “newbies” Melissa and Lauren,
as the pictures were all in groups of ten.
All of the recipients were richly deserving of their bedkit
especially those with physical and intellectual challenges. The generous donors
can be assured these children will sleep well. As they were wished in Swalhili
“Lala Salama” Sleep well!
After the distribution., we visited the home of one of last
year’s recipients. The home was a mud
hut, made from cow dung, approximately 6 ‘ x10’ overlooking a spectacular
Kenyan vista. Owned by a grandmother of Masai origin, who was wearing beautiful, traditional beadwork she was very
proud and happy to welcome us into her home.
Finally, we visited a residential school for rescued girls,
(from forced early marriages or difficult family living conditions). The joy
and happiness of these girls was very evident.
All in all a rewarding first day!
Team Kenya 2015
