Today was our first distribution. We left our hotel in Kampala at 6.45. Our destination was a church in Kakuba which is a 28 km ride. Traffic in Kampala can be busy. It took us 2 ½ hours to reach our lovely rural destination. Our day started and ended with an inspirational prayer.
The church is high in the mountains. We were surrounded by sugar cane and banana trees, with stunning views. The children were greeting us along the road long before we reached the school. What can be more touching than seeing those huge smiles and waves as we navigated the narrow clay road .
At the church we were welcomed by 500 smiling faces. The Bishop and his wife were also on hand to greet us. Following a welcome speech by the Bishop’s wife and Regina the Inner wheel organizer, the distribution started and went smoothly. We left the site knowing 500 children will have a better sleep tonight.
