Today, for the first time, we didn't walk to the distribution site. We were picked up from our hotel at about 9 a.m. and we travelled for about 20 minutes to an elementary school site. On the way we drove through villages which were destroyed by the volcanic eruption in 2018.
We distributed 22 bedkits to excited children. Then we returned to Alotenago to distribute 436 bedkits. A number of these children had health challenges, including paralysis and deafness. It was delightful to see the smiles and hear a few children say “thank you” among the many “gracias,” after they received their bedkits.
This was our longest distribution day so far. We finished at 6:21 pm and went to our hotel for dinner.
Many parents and older siblings carry the bedkits on their heads while others use the local taxis called tuk-tuk.
