More than halfway through our distributions, Day 7 marked 12 distributions and over 4000 bedkits handed out to very deserving children. When arriving at each distribution site, we have been received graciously and welcomed by each Sri Lankan community. We have been honoured by beautiful welcoming customs including being given bouquets of flowers or a necklace of fresh flowers placed around our necks, being handed leaves representing honour and worship, and receiving presentations from school bands and dancers in beautiful costumes. During many of the distributions there is a short presentation where the members of SCAW, school officials and rotary members will light a large oil lamp to signify the opening of the celebration. In each case, I feel so fortunate and humbled to be shown such grace and gratitude and will fondly recall the kindness in Sri Lanka.
