Please try to imagine that you are at a Canadian elementary school. Your task is to organize 500 children to receive a gift valued at $30.00. You must instruct and supervise these children to stand in an orderly line on a hot summer day.

The students must remain in this line for up to four hours. They will not enjoy the benefits of shade, food or water. They must remain in these lines without complaint! At the end of this lengthy wait they will be presented with the gift and can then be dismissed to go home.

This scenario is difficult to imagine, however the SCAW travelling team witnesses Ugandan children doing this at each of the twelve distribution centres as the children all wait patiently for their bedkit!
