Today was our first distribution in Gilgil. It was a three hour drive even on a Sunday and slowed by a major traffic accident. Luckily we were able to slowly detour around the chaos.
The distribution was at a home/school for rescued Street children run by Mary Coulson and named Restart Africa. Thirteen of her children are now in university and four at tech college, the high school students go off to boarding school but all 107 have a home there. Mary also had us back to her home for a delicious lunch in her gracious old home.
Mary also organized the 393 children from local schools to come and receive their bedkit.
On our way back to our accommodations, we stopped to see some children who two weeks ago had their orphanage destroyed by fire. A neighbour of Rotarian Mr. Darcy, Amanda, took all twenty children into her home until other accommodation is found. Donna had brought Izzy dolls and each child has a new comfort toy.
