Greetings from SCAW Kenya 2024
Our busiest day of distributions took place at two different schools within Nairobi. Both of the schools took in children from one of the most economically challenged communities in the city. Currently there are approximately 2 million people living in extremely impoverished settlements throughout Nairobi.
At the first school we distributed 1000 bedkits, and then it was onto the second school where we distributed 500 more. It was a hot day for all the volunteers but we got the job done without any problems that we couldn’t handle.
It is always a joy to distribute the bedkits to the children, especially when you can see how great the need is. The day was very well organized by the Rotary Team Leaders together with the teachers at both of the schools. It was a busy day for distributions, but it is always such a great feeling when you see the children heading home with their parents and their bedkits!
We’ve had a great team in Kenya and each member has been very willing to take on each and every task of our bedkit distributions. Like a herd of elephants (tusks) we worked very well together - all 8 distributions were completed on time with few problems.
We were very fortunate to see several herds of elephants on this trip and harmony was clearly evident, much like our SCAW “herd”.
As for Tusker, this famous Kenyan lager was enjoyed after working hard in the African sun.
Tasks, tusks and Tuskers - all elements of our wonderful time together!!
