WE ARE READY TO GO!
Such a special day to go to Mama Wandoa’s house and to have our team all together. Here we are at the end of our Pre-Distribution meeting celebrating fellowship and a promise that 7500 children will be sleeping better because of our hard work over the next two weeks.
WE SALUTE MAMA WANDOA AND UPENDO🇹🇿
Today was very special as we spent the afternoon at Mama Wandoa’s home hearing her talk about her history of working with Sleeping Children for 24 years. Benjamin, Wendy and Nathan explained how the cottage industry put together 7500 backpacks starting back in January using rooms for cutting patterns, sewing and ironing, all in Mama’s home.
You really have to see it to believe what an incredible feat this is. Ten tailors worked diligently to ensure that the children will receive quality clothing, covers and kangas. The children will receive 16 items in their backpacks and you will hear more tomorrow about the contents after Day One of our distribution.
All the backpacks are stored in her bedrooms right now and starting early tomorrow 750 backpacks will be loaded onto Mama’s truck.
We are very excited to be working so closely with Upendo as we view ourselves as one big team.
Tonight we go to sleep early as our van leaves at 7:00 am.
Lala Salama.
