Today (Wednesday 9th) was a travel day for us. Just under 12 hours going bumpity bump bump in the jeep. We arrived in Mambo just before sunset and settled in for a good rest ready for two distributions tomorrow. What I loved seeing was the simple things in life being enjoyed by the children. They were not distracted by "stuff" and were very resourceful in making their own toys and fun.

Distribution #3 Tema village, Tanzania. On Friday morning we visited Tema and met with the TBA (Traditional Birthing Attendants) Women, the nurse and the doctor at the dispensary. They were very keen to learn more with women's health and LOVED the kits. It touched us all how much they appreciated them. And the kids ... oh the sweet kids.
Distribution #4 Mambo Village. After a quick lunch we were back in the Jeep and down the road to Mambo Village football field for a community gathering and distribution to the Women's Group of the village. They welcomed us with singing and dancing that went on for hours, yes hours, we were exhausted yet filled with so much love at the same time. The kids truly melt your heart and ladies were so sweet. These women, when we finally dragged them away from the dancing for a sit down, were enthusiastic and grateful. These kits meant so much to them. We also handed over some school supplies to the community leader for the school kindly donated by Jane, Lise and Helen and our Oman Chapter. To see these ladies holding up the kits and singing with joy ... I couldn't hold back the tears. I saw all the hard work that everyone has put into this project in the smiles on their faces. Thank you to everyone, you are amazing ladies !
