This blog was sent on April 5th and was lost. I apologize and will post it now. This is the second day of the distribution.
Our adventure began early this morning after a lovely breakfast. We boarded the bus for our first interaction with the group representing the Inner Wheel and had a hands-on tour of the factories where the the school uniforms and back-packs were made. A very enlightening conversation with the owner ensued, and he has only good things to say about SCAW and its continuing support of the business he self-started with the idea of employing untrained Ugandan women and men. It was very uplifting to see how it was a win-win operation for all parties. We then moved on to the mattress factory to see the process from beginning to final product and again saw the behind-the-scenes operation.
The photos posted above show the kits put together, the finished mattresses, and the cutting of fabric.
We ended the visits with a wonderful introduction to all the Inner Wheel women and were treated to a luncheon. They are a force to be reckoned with in their dedication to SCAW. We are very blessed to have such industrious partners!
