What stood out for us in particular was the enormous amount of organization put in by the Ladies Of The Inner Wheel of Kampala and other volunteers. Upon arriving in Kapeeka, we found that 495 mattresses had been rolled, tied and delivered. The other bed kit items were in bags placed inside the washbasins. This major feat would have taken hours and hours of hard work before we even arrived.
The Ladies organizational skills are to be greatly admired. 495 children were dressed in their new school uniforms and placed in lines for the upcoming photo session.
While the smiles were being captured, more volunteers spent hours bending and lifting bedkits for us to present to the children. They responded with huge smiles, curtsies and genuine thank-yous.
While the other children patiently waited for their bedkits, they were led in song by the Ladies of the Inner Wheel.
What an AMAZING day for all involved.
