We knew today would be a long day as we were moving from our hotel in Kampala to a central hotel in our next distribution area. We drove three hours to our distribution where our smallest group of 565 children were waiting for us.
At home we would probably be like our kids saying “are we there yet” but the scenery is so unique compared to Canada. Banana trees, mud huts with grass roofs, community water pumps with children gathered with yellow plastic water containers and waving kids looking for a white hand to wave back, create an amazing view for our journey.
Tired or not, as soon as we arrived to our site we couldn’t help but jump out of the van and join in on the dancing and singing. What a beautiful welcome from all the parents and the children who have been waiting already for hours.
Once we gave all the bedkits we boarded the bus for a 4 hour bus ride to our new hotel. The feeling of fulfillment and thinking of all the new smiling faces we just left makes it completely worthwhile.
