Kenya, 2020: The Last Bedkits Delivered

We competed the delivery of the last 105 bedkits to reach our allotted 5000 bedkits for distribution in Kenya 2020. This took place at a school for disabled children. There were children in wheelchairs barely pushable by teachers, walkers on their last legs, and parents carrying children on their backs. Many parents, guardians, and siblings, as well as teachers and support personnel, aided the children to have their pictures taken for our donors and to receive their most needed bedkit.

One young boy, spying the mattress laid out for the pictures ran over and threw himself down on the comfortable mattress causing everyone to laugh. He had the right idea.

This school is lacking the programme supports our public schools have in Canada. While this distribution moved us to tears, we applaud the parents, their children, teachers and support staff who provide a safe and caring school setting for their special children.
