It was very early on a dark morning with rain threatening when we started off for our first distribution. After three and a half hours on some suspension-punishing roads we arrived.
And, oh, what a welcome we had! The guardians/parents lined the driveway to cheer us in and the children were gathered, singing a wonderful song to greet us.
Wonderfully warm welcome
We gave the guardians and children a preview of the items in the bedkit.
Bedkit Items - Preview
Each item was received with thundering cheering and clapping, confirming that the ladies of the Inner Wheel had chosen well. After, the children changed into their new clothes and we set up the bedkit display, the distribution began.
Heading home with the bedkits
We were treated to a delicious lunch after the distribution.
Lunch
As I write this blog we are on the way back to our accommodation as the rain that held off all day has finally begun to fall in torrents.
We are thrilled to know that 500 children will be home tonight having a restful sleep to awaken to a new day tomorrow refreshed and ready to face the day.
