Bangladesh, 2019: 1200 Bedkits Distributed in Sunny Bhola

The day dawned warm and sunny (sorry Ontario) as we set off early to take speedboats upriver for the Bhola distribution. In less than an hour we were docked and into the vans taking us to the school in Bhola Sadar Upazila.


This distribution marked another "first" for the SKD team in Bangladesh, who had taken the initiative to split the 1200 bedkits into two photos sites. Two cameras, and two bedkits laid out, with simultaneous picture taking helped bring smiles to many faces! 











The flow of children was excellent! The two groups of children filed through the photo sites and went off to receive their bedkits. 





The school had arranged for many, many student volunteers who helped tremendously in ensuring a steady stream of children to the various stations in the distribution cycle.
