Tanzania: Home Visits!
We had a chance to visit a boy named Saidi, who received a bedkit
3 years ago. This boy lives with his grandmother, older sister and
uncle in some very cramped quarters. The area was enclosed by a palm
leaf fence and inside it was a cement structure where we were told the
grandmother and sister sleep and then the mud structure you see in the
picture where the Saidi and his uncle sleep. There is also a chicken
coop, complete with suitcase! Behind that was a cordoned off area we
were told is the bathroom. The cooking is done in the small space
beside the mud hut. Our team was warmly welcomed into their yard and we
greeted one another and asked about who lived in this home and the
specifics of the site and Saidi and his bedkit. He was still using the
mattress and the mosquito net he had received. The school supplies
were long used up, but he still had the school uniform. We were invited
to go inside his bedroom and had to take turns going into the hut
because the space was so small. You can see Saidi sitting on his bed
with the mosquito netting hanging above him. We were told by the
headmaster of the school that he is very bright and does quite well in
school. His grandmother told us she wasn’t sure he would pass his exams
for secondary school and even if he did, there was no money to pay for
him to go. Tuition is approximately $100 a year plus the cost of
uniforms, books and other expenses. Our bed kit helped him stay in
primary school so he could get the basics of an education. It is
difficult to listen to the dashed dreams of a bright boy whose future
hangs in the balance, as we stand in a tiny space filled with things we
in North America can barely even imagine but are the day to day life of
this lovely boy. The school supplies offered in the bedkit, a uniform,
6 exercise books, 3 pencils, 3 pens, an eraser, ruler and pencil
sharpener truly can mean the difference between going to school and not
being able to afford those necessities.

Tanzania: All the Helpers!
Just finished our 8th distribution, with the
knowledge that 5,250 children will be getting a better sleep tonight than they
may have had for a long time. The need
is apparent everywhere around us, and the joy at receiving such a precious gift
is sometimes very palpable.
As we were wrapping up today, I was thinking of all of the
people that have come together to make this possible. First, there are the donors, who have cared
enough to purchase a bedkit for a child they do not know and will never
meet. Then there are the travelling
volunteers, who have the privilege of handing out the bedkits and meeting these
children first-hand. There are people at
the SCAW office, who arrange distributions, accept donations and produce tax
receipts, match photographs with donors, and a host of other activities that
make SCAW work so well. Overseas, there
are a number of volunteers, from the ladies who dress the children, to the
stunt drivers who drive trucks to the distribution sites, to the volunteers
that unload the trucks and assist with the distributions, to the translators
who work so tirelessly whenever we need to talk to someone in Swahili. Also, the manufacturers of bedkit items see
the value in what is being done, and provide some of the bedkit items at cost
(or even donate from their resources to help).
Finally, there is Mama Wandoa and her family, who have taken on the task
of coordinating the bedkit assembly, the finding of children who need the most,
and the logistics of having us, the bedkits, and the children all at the same
place at the same time.
All in all, I would say this is a pretty good team effort!

Tanzania: What I Mean
Bottom
line, my Swahili is no good. I live in a suburb of Boston,
Massachusetts in the United States. My grasp of English is astounding, I
can say what I mean and mean what I say. I have no trouble getting my
point across, whether I am speaking to my husband and children or to the
plumber standing in my bathroom. If I need to find mango chutney but
don’t know the aisle at the supermarket, I have the words to ask the
questions that lead me right to it, no problem. But here in Tanzania,
what I mean doesn’t always come across so well. When we arrive at a new
site and get out of the van, what I mean is, “Good morning!! I am so
blessed and excited to be here and see all of you. I am thrilled that I
am part of a team that can bring you a bedkit that will make life so
much better for you and give you things that you otherwise could only
dream of having, brand new and clean and all your own!” What I say is
“Stand up!” Whoops, wrong Swahili word, try again quick before they
start wandering away in confusion. “Habari ya hasaboi, good morning!”
Yes, that is it, it’s not exactly all that I mean, but at least it is a
polite greeting. Time to get to work. What I mean is “Oh, how
wonderful, I love seeing you in your new clothes! Please, line up here
and stay in line to follow me right this way so we can arrange you to
take your picture to send to the sponsors. Those sponsors may be moved
to tears to see you, you have been so blessed by their generosity.
Please show them how excited you are to receive this bedkit. I can
feel your excitement because I am here with you, I can rejoice with
you. Let’s work together to let this still picture share that
excitement!” What I say is, “Only one of you, follow me.” They obey
and I wonder why the whole line of children won’t come and then realize,
yet again, wrong word, try again. “All of you, follow me this way.
You, sit right here please and you, please stand over there. Now,
laugh!” That is the best that my Swahili words can do. I hope it is
enough. I hope that the joy on my face and the excitement in my eyes
can convey the words that I just don’t have. I hope that the love is
passed on in my touch and in my smile. I hope that the experience of
having these visitors delivering a bedkit filled with things that all
belong to you convey just how worthy you are, just how special you are
and make you feel as blessed as I do to have been a part of your life
for this very short time.

Tanzania: What a Great Team!!
I'm
taking the liberty of a change of pace with today's Tanzania Live
update - Day 6 and 700 bed kits having just been given out at a school
in Chem Chem. I wanted to share with you what an energetic, skilled and
dedicated team of Sleeping Children volunteers I have the pleasure of
leading. You have met most of them in photos and videos accompanying
Live Updates they have sending, but I wanted to tell you a little about
each of them.
Several
things happen at each distribution - the SCAW team has the joy of
greeting the children and their parents, and then we get down to work
including choosing a photo site, setting up the bedkit, taking a photo
of each child, interviewing parents and children, and finally, the joy
of briefly meeting each child, looking in their eyes and
wishing them Lala Salama, a good night's sleep, and giving them their
bedkit - the personal touch that shows each child that someone cares for
them.
Our
team also came to Tanzania with the goal of sending a more vibrant and
complete picture of what happens on a SCAW distribution each day, using
social media tools like Facebook, You Tube and others. You are seeing
the results of their skill and efforts. My team is accomplishing this
second goal beyond my expectations.
Each
of my team members that you see in the videos and photos is an
outstanding individual who volunteered to come on this trip. Let me say
a few words about each of them.
Lori
Albrecht - it is largely thanks to Lori that our team is sending back
the wonderful "one-minute videos" with highlights of each day. In
addition to her responsibilities for the day (and learning considerable
Swahili to speak with the children), Lori is videoing the children,
parents, overseas volunteers, SCAW team and capturing many of the
wonderful sights and sounds of a SCAW distribution. After each
distribution, in our vehicle or back at the hotel, Lori then works on
selecting the "pieces" she likes best from all the videos she has taken,
and distills them down into her "one minute of magic" each day.
Graham
McDougall is the youngest member of our team at 17, and he has an
amazing knowledge and passion for photography, computers and video
creation software the names of which I have never heard before. Graham
has taken hours of footage on this trip, from which he plans to make a
short video showing the highlights of a SCAW distribution. Graham has
also been advising Lori with some technical aspects of putting together
her "one minute videos", including using a Wi-Fi Hot Spot for mobile
internet while on the road, and figuring out how to cope with variable
strength internet at our hotel.
Jennifer
Travis is from the United States, and our team and SCAW are very
excited to have Jennifer travelling with us on a distribution. Jennifer
is passionate about interacting with the children, and making the
distribution day a truly special occasion for the children. Whether
blowing bubbles or bouncing balloons, Jennifer had large groups of
children surrounding her and enjoying every moment they were with her.
Jennifer's energy and passion for making things special for the
children are resulting in many, many smiles on the children's faces in
the bedkit
photographs.
Lori, Graham and Jennifer are on their first SCAW bedkit distribution. Jeff
McDougall (Graham's dad) on the other hand is on his fourth SCAW trip.
Jeff has exceptional leadership qualities and interpersonal skills, and
is making a significant contribution in many ways on this trip. I had
never met Jeff before this trip, and the other day said to him I feel
like I have known him all my life. Jeff provides good
ideas and wise counsel, and is a pleasure to work with. I hope SCAW
will see a lot of Jeff in the years to come.
Last
and certainly not least, team member Leslie Banner will be taking over
as Tanzania Team Leader in 2014. I have not traveled with another team
leader for many years, and am benefiting from hearing Leslie's
suggestions in a wide range of areas involving the leadership of a
Sleeping Children team. I have the privilege of working with Leslie in
other
areas in the SCAW organization, and have learned on this trip that she
is as effective in leading a bedkit distribution as she is in
contributing in other leadership areas back home in SCAW.
Every
member of my team is contributing to making the Tanzania 2013 trip a
success. So today I would like to recognize each of them, and thank
them for their efforts in ensuring six successful bedkit distributions
so far, for making each day special for the children and their parents,
and for their skill and
efforts in enabling our team to share many special moments with the
outside world through video, audio, words and photographs. I am very
proud of each of them.

Tanzania: A School with in School within a School
 |
Today we talked to over 1000 students and parents who were going to receive a bedkit. The story of Sleeping Children Around the world was simply told and the bedkit items were shown to loud cheers, particularly when the school supplies were held up to the families by our traveling volunteers.
This distribution left all of us touched by the magnitude of the numbers of needy children in Tanzania. Parents are struggling to send their children to primary school at least and thanks to our donors, they will be able to achieve a good night’s rest on their new mattress and free from the mosquitoes bearing the dreaded malaria. No wonder the children smiled and laughed when we asked them to for their pictures. “checka, Checka” we asked (smile, laugh).

Tanzania: "Asante Sama"
We have finished our fourth distribution day, and have now
presented 2,450 children with their precious bedkits. The fourth distribution began well, with the
overseas volunteers already there unloading the big pile of mattresses for the
day. The children and parents were also there
soon, dressed in their school uniforms or brightly coloured clothes, and we had
a chance to explain to them what would be happening. The day was hot, but full of reward.
Tanzania continues to be a feast for the senses. From the smell of spices on Zanzibar, to the
sight of seemingly limitless open markets, to the sound of 100 children singing
as they arrived on site for the distribution squeezed into the back of an open
truck, the varying smells of the city, or the sound of the volunteers laughing
kindly at our few phrases of broken Swahili.However, the sweetest sound has to be the whispered “Asante Sama” (thank you very much), as we gently place the new mattress on the head of a child who will be taking their treasure home. The response we have come to use is “Lala Salama” (sleep well).
Thank you to those who have donated to SCAW.

Tanzania: Our day of rest!
Sundays are a day of rest for the SCAW team here in Tanzania...NOT! On
our days off our fearless leader, Ted has planned big and exciting
things to experience here in this beautiful country! We planned a side
trip to the island of Zanzibar, a twenty minute flight from the mainland
in a 12 seater prop plane. It was all about culture today, folks!
We began our tour with a relaxing breakfast buffet at Serena Hotel, and met up with our local guide for the day, Said Suleiman Mohammed, an herbalist and tour guide specialist for Zanzibar. He led us to a local spice farm and we enjoyed the lychee fruit from the tree, fresh sour sop, jack fruit, dorian and tried a vast array of spices as we learned how the traditional plants grow and how to use them to treat common ailments and diseases.
We shopped, met with a jeweler to learn about the properties of Tanzanite, a rare gemstone mined only in Tanzania and toured the Stone Town. With the incredible knowledge of dates, historical facts and practical knowledge about herbs and spices, our guide was outstanding in his profession. We were welcomed into a traditional home to experience a local meal, prepared over an open fire. We were asked to remove our shoes before sitting on the dinner mat, where we sampled rice pilaf topped with squid in a coconut sauce, shrimp, cassava, and bread fruit. On our way to the airport, we wandered through the fish market and took one last look at the exquisite doorways in the Stone Town. The day was a cultural experience that we will never forget!

Tanzania: Inner City Distribution
Today the team completed a distribution at an inner city location at Mama Wandoa's church. It was a shorter day, with 350 kids receiving bed kits this morning. The day was full of surprises and many tears were shed, both in sadness and joy.
We were able to assist a very sick boy in need of medical attention and marveled at the strength of his mom as she hoisted her 11 year old son onto her back to carry him home with his new bedkit. We interviewed three joyous parents and children to get their feedback and suggestions on the bed kit they received today and hear how it will have an impact on their lives and family. We greatly relished the joy of many children and their parents as we sent them off with their backpacks on and mattresses balanced on their head!
We had a very special treat in the afternoon, we were invited to attend a wedding at Mama's church! The wedding party and family arrived at the church dancing in a parade led by a band of drum, trumpet and trombone players. The guests were lined up outside watching and we all followed the procession into the church. There were five choirs that sang and the drums and trumpet continually added emphasis to the exuberant cheers of the guests as they let their joy be made known all throughout the ceremony. Although we couldn't understand the language, weddings are beautiful in every language and we greatly enjoyed it.
What a blessing and honour it was for us to be able to experience this joyous occasion.

Tanzania: Majohe
Our distribution today in video!
The team completed Day 2 of our distributions at Majohe and are enroute back to our hotel. After completing the distribution, we visited the homes of two families whose children received a bedkit today. These families live in a remote rural area, and rely on growing a small cash crop for subsistence food and to try to earn a little extra if anything is left over. A mother, when asked about water for the family, said calmly she walked fifteen minutes to get water and then home again with a jug of water on her head. How many times a day she had to do this to support five children, we did not ask!

| Visiting a bedkit recipient's home from Tanzania 2013 |
Following the family visits, we proceeded to the factory that produces the mattresses for the children. The company, Unoplast, has supplied mattresses for the bedkits for ten years, since inception of SCAW's involvement in Tanzania. The General Manager spoke to us of the importance to him of being involved in this charitable endeavour helping the needy children of Tanzania.

Uganda: Mission Accomplished!
As
we rode our bus to our final distribution we were all amazed at how
quickly the time had gone by. It was not that long ago that the team
met at the Toronto airport, eagerly anticipating our adventure together
and not quite sure what lay ahead. Upon arriving in Kampala and
meeting the ladies of the Innerwheel we soon became a strong team,
working together for the benefit of 6000 children in Uganda. Through
each distribution and each passing day the team became closer and
friendships grew with our Overseas Volunteer Partners, the Innerwheel of
Kampala.
Each of the Canadian team has a closing thought as our time in Uganda
draws to a close.
"The adventure exceeded my expectations. The Innerwheel became best friends and the team became family. " - Joan Hatcher
"It was an awesome first trip to Africa. I never imagined the Innerwheel did so much work behind the scenes." Shiela Toner
"I truly feel we have brought some hope and enjoyment to many families in Uganda" John MacDonald
"Each
of the seven distributions I have been privileged to be part of in
Uganda have left me feeling closer to the wonderful women of the
Innerwheel of Kampala and the children of Uganda." Leslie Banner
"At
each distribution site I was very moved by the greetings we received
from the children. It was very special at a couple of the sites to hear
the children sing their national anthem and to sing our own national
anthem in response." Patrick Toner
"Yesterday
I was reading that the people of Uganda are considered to be the
friendliest in Africa. Along with being the Pearl of Africa I have
discovered that this is true. Uganda is indeed a country that is rich
in one resource in particular - their people. Their welcoming smiles,
determination and resilience are
testimony to this. I feel privileged to have met so many Ugandans and
my life is richer because of this." Beth Poad
"I
am very sad to see my time in Uganda come to a close. I have met some
amazing people, the ladies of the Innerwheel, the staff at our special
Guest house where we spent the majority of our nights, our bus driver,
the volunteers at each of the distribution sites and the wonderful
parents, grandparents and children who welcomed us with smiles, waves,
songs and cheers at each of our twelve distribution sites. I hope that
the 6000 children who received bedkits are having a good night's
sleep!!!! " - Jan Gayman
I will close this blog with a couple of pictures of our last three children we photographed today.
It's a wrap.

Many of the children at this distribution site had to travel
a considerable distance. As we were
finishing the bedkit distribution we realized we were 50 children short. We were told they were on their way and about
15 minutes later they came running up the lane to the site. They had come approximately 10 kilometers and
had left quite early that morning. We
were relieved that they were able to receive their bedkit.
Our location for this distribution was a primary
school. We were able to view some of the
classrooms. Charts hung around the rooms consisted of basic number concept
matching and vowel sounds just like we would see in a Canadian primary
grade. Resources in the classroom were
in very short supply.

After our lunch, as we drove out the narrow dirt road from
the distribution site we passed several groups of bedkit recipients waiting for
a ride home. When they saw our bus
smiles and waves erupted.

Uganda: Kampala
We
woke up to another beautiful morning in Kampala, the team as usual met
for breakfast and discussed our upcoming distribution day. We spent
three hours along a bumpy road which became increasingly narrower and
bumpier as well as covered with muddy water from a recent downpour.
After arriving at the site that was chosen by the Inner Wheel of Kampala, we proceeded to set up the bedkit while the area was secured where the pictures were to be taken. This was another great site as we have been used to for our entire picture taking for the distribution of 6000 bedkits.
Parents
and children had gathered from over 50 different communities and
travelled in many instances great distances to receive this gift from
Canada made possible by our donors. The Inner Wheel as our Overseas
Volunteer Partner had ensured that these were the neediest children in
the district.
This
year we have experienced many beautiful backdrops where we have taken
the photos such as schoolhouses, a mountain view, small patches of maize
gardens and matooke fields. Today we selected a large ant hill as the
background to the photo of 500 children. These hills can be up to 12
feet high and the Ugandans will harvest the ants from them in the rainy
season (March, April and November) and fry and eat them as a delicacy
and share this treat with their neighbours. This provides some of the
much-needed protein in their diet. The red colour evident in the ant
hill picture reflects the colour of the soil in Uganda. the ant hill
soil provides part of the materials used to make homes, including a
rudimentary siding of clay as a beginning cover for the homes and later
on are the basis for making bricks which cover many homes in villages
throughout the area we travelled in to complete the distributions.
At the end of every distribution the Inner Wheel of Kampala and the Canadian Sleeping Children team we are hosted by members of the community. A picture of a typical lunch is included.

Uganda: Bulera
Today we were back on the road to continue
our bedkit distribution after a day in Kampala. The day began with an early departure having
said goodbye to Beth. The traffic seemed
very heavy the day after a holiday as we worked our way the 107 km to
Bulero. The road out of town was less
congested but the many speeds humps forced us to move at a very reduced pace. Bulera was reached after travelling into the
highlands. Huge areas have been
cultivated with tea. We passed several
trucks loaded with workers and bags of freshly cut tea.
As usual the distribution was well
organized by the Inner Wheel Team. The
children sang the Ugandan National Anthem to open the distribution. Our Team proudly responded with a hearty rendition
of “Oh Canada”. The backdrop for our
photos of the children was the new school.
Although it is relatively new, it consisted only of a brick shell with
an uneven dirt floor. Windows were
openings to let the light and fresh air in.
It was a minimum teaching space for the children. 
We were able to visit homes of two of the
days’ recipients who lived only a short distance from the distribution
site. The living conditions confirmed
for us that many of the neediest were receiving bedkits today. We left the site in the late afternoon with a
large bag of fruits and vegetables given to the ladies of the Inner Wheel as a
“thank you”.
The drive back to Kampala was very
slow. Traffic to the city was at a
standstill. This gave us the opportunity
to see the city at night. The sidewalks
with jammed with people heading home.
Many were selling their good by kerosene lamps. There were few streetlights to help the
people make their way safely home.
Uganda: Martyr's Day
Today is Martyr's Day in Uganda. This is a day to honor the Christian
priests who were killed in thek 1800's in Uganda. Each year, up to a
million people walk from all over the country into Kampala to honor
those martyrs. We were able to see many of these determined walkers
enroute to the city as we made our bus trips out to the country over the
past week.
Because of this national Holiday, our Uganda Sleeping Children Team had a
"rest day". This brings up visions of sleeping in and lounging
around a patio but our day couldn't have been further from that. Before
dawn, I could hear suitcases and bags banging around as Team members
sorted clothes for a trip to the local Orphanage. John manually pumped
up several soccer balls to bring along. We loaded into a van and off we
went. The Orphanage and the children were very happy to see us as we
unloaded clothing and toys which team members had brought along for this
purpose. Many children were held and cuddled as the Team worked our
way through the facility. As we were about to leave, a new child was
brought to the home by Ugandan police. This little boy had been found
in one of the many taxi "parking stations" that are situated throughout
this large city. It once again brought home the plight of the children
of Uganda to which Sleeping Children is here to bring a smile and a good
nights sleep.
Tonight we are going to share some memories of the past week with early
departing Team member - Beth Poad. Beth has been an inspirational and
fun member of our group as we have gotten to know each other
better. Beth is a diligent worker and we will miss her the rest of this
week on our distributions. We are rested, mentally refreshed and very
eager to board the bus in the morning for our next distribution. Joan on behalf of the amazing Uganda Team 2013

They realize the
