Up early today as we have two sites and a long drive ahead of us. As we arrived back at Karama, children and families were already lined up. We managed to complete the remaining 100 bedkits in less than an hour before heading back on the road.
Kinazi was our next destination where we received a nice welcome from the Mayor. As we made introductions, kids and parents cheered loudly as we explained the items in the bedkit. With temperatures dipping below 20 (cold for Africa!) the blanket was a special hit. The 500 bedkit distribution went extremely smooth today, and we were on the road again before we knew it. Next up is a 5 hour drive to Rubavu, near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.
One interesting observation is the number of children wearing Christmas and Disney themed clothing. It's a good reminder that as seasons change and fads evolve, the circular economy is evident in Rwanda.
