Honduras 2019: Success, Smiles and Good-Byes



Today we completed our goal of giving out 7,000 bed kits and backpacks to 7,000 very happy children. 






The children headed home eager to see what was in their backpack and bed kit.

It was a beautiful school because the wives of the Rotary Club members here had put in some lovely gardens, washrooms, a kitchen, a playground and an extra classroom. They also built a cement wall around the whole area and had the rooms brightly painted.


One donation was for 50 bed kits. Debbie photographed them in 2 groups on the stairs, which were also donated by the Rotarian wives.

We had a surprise visit from some stilt walkers who came to entertain us.



The Rotaracts outdid themselves and because it was a Saturday we had extra help from them. Today was especially fun because we all wore pyjamas. 





We were sad to have to say goodbye to the generous and friendly people we had become friends with over the last two weeks.
