Our second distribution day provided contrast in locations and in feel. We had a 500 kit distribution in the morning and found ourselves in a small photo location with an outdoor stone wall as a backdrop and minimum space for the children to change, be organized and proceed through the various stages required before receiving their kit.
The afternoon distribution of 200 kits took place on a lush green mountainside with staggeringly beautiful views and plenty of space for our team and the children. Yet both distributions were rewarding and successful despite their differences.
We also enjoyed connecting with many children and parents as we visited the home of one of the families who had received a kit. We were truly honoured to have been invited so warmly into their home and appreciate their willingness to share their lives with a group of strangers. The small community all came out to see us and we were accompanied back to our van by an enthusiastic group of young boys.
