Today, Martyrs Day, we had the luxury of sleeping in, meeting for breakfast at 7:30 and then we were on our way around 8:30 am to Mirikiti distribution site, in Tororo. It was a holiday in Uganda, so we saw many families, including small children, working the fields as we drove through the countryside. Other children were hanging out with their parents and friends at the marketplace.
Among the recipients today, we distributed bedkits to two special groups of children. The first was a group of 50 children who were orphaned as a result of mudslides in Uganda. They lived with kind families during the week and on Saturdays they met at a recreation centre for arts, crafts and other activities. The second was a group of 10 children from an orphanage. They waited patiently for hours before receiving theirs gifts.
We felt proud, just like the free range turkeys we saw at a home where we were treated to a delicious well-balanced Ugandan meal.
