We have had long hours on the road and a power/wifi outage so below are some snapshots of the last couple of days.
The weather is perfect! The temperature is around the low to mid 20s and there is no humidity.
The team split into two teams of four to cover two distribution sites. Yes . . . you guessed it . . . that led to some rivalry as to which was the better team! We each travelled about two hours and distributed in the neighbourhood of 330 bedkits. Believe it or not, we landed back at our guest-house within 10 minutes of each other so we decided it was a draw.

We were on the road by mid-afternoon, heading to the second segment of the distribution. A three hour journey took almost five hours because our van was wedged under a bridge with transport trucks for a good hour while oncoming traffic had the right of way due to construction. The upside is we were able to sing along to the Bengali version of Jamaica Farewell.
We are looking forward to an early start in the morning and meeting 650 more sweet children. They are eager to engage with us and practice their English.
