Part of the distribution process is the children putting on their new t-shirt, getting a new backpack and supplies, then waiting for their turn for the donor photo to be taken. Today there were some children waiting so I decided to talk to them about who we are and the Sleeping Children charity. They had no idea where Canada is. I told them it is 'muy frio' (very cold) and they laughed. I don't know if they were laughing at my pronunciation or the fact that Canada is cold. I showed them the Canadian flag on the arm of my SCAW team golf shirt. Some of them told me they love the flag.
The children often don't understand that they are getting the t-shirt, the backpack plus the bedkit to take home. When we hand them this big bag with the bedkit in it they are surprised and sometimes overwhelmed. Once they understand they are leaving with it all, we get big smiles.
Looking forward to seeing more smiles.
