Tanzania: A Wonderful Day!

Oh what a wonderful day!  There truly are never two distributions that go the same!  We found out last week that students at the school where we were to go today were writing exams and so we had to find a new location on very short notice.  Mama Wandoa took on the task, and upon arrival at the new location, we were thrown another loop and brought to a third location.  Luckily, the team was able to make the best of the situation and set up a great display for the photos and get the distribution rolling in good time!  The drive took just over an hour, we were able to begin distributing the bedkits around 10:00 a.m. and were home at 3:00 p.m.

715 children today were fortunate enough to receive a bedkit.  It was overwhelming to see them leave with such beautiful, big smiles.  LALA SALAMA (sleep well). We were lucky enough today to see the children dressed in everyday clothes as school was out because of the older student's examinations.

Though 715 children received a bedkit today, it was so very sad to see the crowd of people on the opposite side of the fence who were unable to receive the same.  There is so much need in this country that we wish we could have brought one to every child.  It is our hope that we will be able to see the same smiles on the faces of those who did not receive this year by giving them each a bedkit on a future distribution.
