This is our 6th distribution day and the city is Barisal where we will be spending the next 5 days in the Barisal District distributing bedkits. The economy in this area is mainly farming and fishing. We travelled 5 minutes to the enclosed site at the Barisal Club. There was a large hall sectioned off into change rooms with lots of room for the moms and the kids. Everyone was so excited when the first group of little girls came out in their pink polka dot dresses, the mothers cheered and cheered. This is a very important day for all these families and it is so special to have the mothers and fathers here to celebrate with their children. During the afternoon, I was lining up the children and 2 beautiful girls smiled and said "selfie". I was so surprised and found my phone and we took a few pictures. They were so happy and came back for a visit (and more pictures) after they had received their bedkits. It was a perfect day and we took pictures of these 500 children with lots of smiles. "Good night children and sleep tight."
