Meeting the Mamas

 Driving up to Miriam's Mama's house we are welcomed by the local mamas we serve.  They sing and dance along the road, waving to our vans, then follow us up to Mama and Isaac's place.

Once we are all there, the mamas continue to sing and dance their welcome.  Several of us join in on the dancing. 

After the welcome, we distribute the food, flashlights, and sheets that we brought along with care packages of clothes and shoes.  Ann is here with mama Therese whose house we visited later.

No matter how hard we try, there's always some logistic that needs checking and rechecking.

The next task was distributing shoes for the children we support.  Matching shoes to kids was a challenge, but once we did the smiles on their faces was immense.

There is a wonderful group of mamas who prepare lunch for us.  Here is one rolling out chapati.  We had some of our best meals here at mama's.

Ann and Inga setting up their sewing class for the day.  They were making aprons to sell later. 

A very full day!  Back to the Savannah and then special olympics the next day.
