Uganda Distribution Day 1: Off and Running

It has begun! The team from the Inner Wheel of Kampala travelled to northern Uganda on Saturday and distributed 500 bedkits to the waiting children and their grateful families. An ‘advance team’ had arrived the day before to set up the site and await the arrival of the bedkits. The team left Kampala at 6:00am, aiming for a 2:00pm arrival at the site. They got there at 1:48, after driving straight through with only one pit stop.

The rain in the morning was followed by clear skies in the afternoon while the distribution was taking place. The skies opened up again after the last bedkit was distributed.   

Pit stop en route to distribution site. Can anything fail under such team?


Anxious parents:


Bedkits all assembled and ready to distribute to the children.

And they’re off on their joyful mission:


Day 1 over, and the ladies of The Inner Wheel are still smiling:

The Inner Wheel team can rest well tonight knowing 500 children have the opportunity of a good sleep.

Indeed the IWC made it. We were overjoyed to see our dream come true. Day.one was beautiful. We made it. We are driven by a passion to serve humanity. Not even hunger nor distance could stop us.
