Today we were up early to head to the distribution site.
Our day was filled with surprises and joy.
We arrived at the distribution site at 8:30 a.m. and we could feel the excitement.
The older children (ages 9-12) could clearly understand what was being given from Canada. We took the opportunity to show them what was in the bedkit. We explained how far we had come and how they were gifts.
There are certain days in life that are incredibly special. Today was one of them. From the hugs, to the beautiful songs, to the excitement on their faces, are things that will remain in our memories. One 10 year old girl said it best when she said, “ THANK YOU. I will remember you forever”.
The kids were very happy with the quality of the bedkits. Many kids kept asking for the “sponges” (which we soon figured out were the mattresses).
As we left at the end of the day . . . the smiles and the waves kept coming.
