IN TANZANIA 🇹🇿 EVERYONE CAN BE FAMILY
Mama has been involved with Sleeping Children for 23 years. Over these many years she has involved more and more members of her family as it kept growing. There are now five generations involved in this bedkit distribution.
Her son, Benjamin, and daughter, Wendy, are the co-leaders with Mama.
For this distribution, cousins Prisca and Jerome were very involved.
Prisca excelled at the important role of checking the labels and coordinating with Peggy.
Here we see Jerome handing out backpacks from the truck. It was raining off and on and this kept them dry for the children.
Mama Wandoa has so much love in her heart that all the Upendo volunteers are family as well. The whole team gathered together around Mama as she presented the volunteers with a special Canadian 🇨🇦 button. Peggy thanked them as well.
Principal Moir is part of Mama’s family now as she has worked with him before. At this distribution he contributed to the fuel costs for the truck and provided a lunch for volunteers from his own salary. Mama originally thought that his school was too far to come but he wanted his children to receive bedkits. All the parents of the 750 children were there as well.
Another inspiring day.
