Many of our
distributions have taken us out to the country. The red dirt roads, at times,
make the term WASH BOARD SURFACE have a real meaning while riding on the minibus.
Our bus had to share the road with the other vehicles, motorcycles, bikes,
walkers and the cattle. Had to watch out for the goats which were usually
tethered near the roadside where they had taller grass and shrubs for them to
munch on.
At these distribution sites out in the country I noticed many bare
foot children. The sandals in the bed kits will be put to good use. The homes
out in the country changed from being brick structures to small adobe homes and
grass thatched huts, at times they were in clusters. They usually had some
mango tress, small rows of corn and some other plants which appeared to have
been newly planted around their homes. It was so good to travel these country
roads to hand out bedkits to these deserving children and families.
