Today was a special day as the team really wanted to meet the children who would be benefitting from and taking home a bedkit.
Before starting we were met by the Governor of the district as well as the Mayor of the Gakenke Sector in the north part of Rwanda. The contents of the bedkits were happily presented to the parents and very enthusiastically received! We then started the distribution of bedkits with the excellent support of the Rotary Club of Kigali Virunga (RCKV), the wonderful Rotoracts and some other volunteers which made this complete team effort possible. The members of RCKV worked very hard in preparing the site, the bedkits and the associated transport to the site.
And then there were the children, the real reason why we were there. They were curious about the bedkits and proudly carried some or all of the parts on their heads, backs and in their arms as they walked back home with their parent or grand-parent or guardian and for many, this distance was in excess of 5 km to return to their home village. They were looking forward to getting ready for a really good night’s sleep.
We are thankful to the generous donors and all the volunteers who give freely of their time to make it all possible, especially because 100% of the bedkit donation goes to the child.
For the Children.
