It’s
complete! The ladies from The Inner
Wheel of Kampala have successfully finished the final distribution of 500
bedkits to children in northern Uganda. That brings the total to 4,000 children who will now have the opportunity
for a good sleep, the safety of a mosquito net, and aids to their education.
Singing,
dancing, and fun with the children were part of each day’s activities. There was some rain, but mostly good weather
which helped the distributions run smoothly.
Our sincere
thanks go to the team from the Inner Wheel of Kampala who made the distribution
possible. As well as all the organizing,
they also took on the responsibilities that are usually done by the SCAW team. We give them our gratitude.
The Inner
Wheel team commented on the extreme need of the children in this part of
Uganda, and the gift of bedkits to these children has been greatly appreciated
by their families.
As always, the ladies captured photos and videos to share the experience with us.

The ladies at work:
The Inner Wheel president making sure that the tallying table flows well:
Our member Deborah. She has proved to be the the best in handling the children.
The children's smiles are covered, but she shows her smile.
A view of the distribution site and the photo ladies in action:
An especially meaningful moment: two special bedkits were distributed in honour of two members of The Inner Wheel who died from COVID-19, Winnie and Ann. May their souls rest in peace.
The SCAW chair couldn't imagine bringing a smile to 4,000 children and leaving without making herself smile. So she also got herself a kit of labels. 😀
