As we headed out of town to the rural areas we were greeted by the views of crops in the fields and the smells of chicken and pork farms at the distribution site.
The children were over-joyed when we arrived and we all sung both our national anthems with pride.
After 2 distributions of 500 children each we took a quick moment to view the caretaker’s home. It was a room that was smaller than a regular bedroom. The family with 5 kids lives there with 2 parents and a grandmother. No stove or kitchen. They are allowed to stay on the gym site as long as they take care of the gym.
Many parents on the outside were begging for their children. I had the privilege of giving out bedkits. It can sometimes feel chaotic with the noise and bustle all around. We hope these children sleep with a little more joy tonight.
