We were on the road by 5:30 this morning to
start our 3 hour drive to the distribution site and avoid Nairobi traffic. We had one pit stop en route, (which was a
souvenir shop too!). The last hour of
the journey gave new meaning to “off the beaten track" as it is the end of the
dry season. It was dusty, extremely narrow and bumpy as we climbed up the
mountain. However, there was a warm
greeting awaiting when we finally arrived, of children and parents anxious to
see us.
As it was such an isolated spot, the children were again very needy, mostly without shoes, with threadbare uniforms and some of them were deaf. However, we soon saw smiles lighting up their faces when some of the Team members starting blowing bubbles again whilst the rest of us were setting up.

We were entertained for a Kenyan lunch
after the distribution, by a gentleman whose grandfather had built the school
and everything had to be brought up the hill by donkeys.
The children were so anxious to try their
new mattresses that the headmaster kindly decided school was
finished for the day and they could all go home!!!
