Today after the morning distribution we went to some homes of recipients... The homes were really 10 x 10 and had 3 children and 2 adults living in them. There was one bed and the children slept on the floor. The kitchen consisted of a 2 ft shelf with some pots and pans. There was one burner. The closet consisted of everything hanging on the ceiling. In the “complex” there were 5 homes of similar standard. They had a storefront where people took turns helping each other.
In our morning distribution we had 2 large groups… one of 142 children and one of 93 children. These photos take a little extra time but are really impactful for a group shot.
The afternoon distribution was slightly delayed due to traffic issues. We were lucky as we were undercover as there was a heavy downpour. We saw first had how important a raincoat can be to them.
In one of our interviews we had a girl who was a recipient of a bed kit a few years ago. She was also lucky enough to have someone help her out with chemo treatments and costs. She is now 12 years old and an honour student. She has hopes of being a model or a stewardess.
