Thank you Australia

Today was the day. The first distribution of food bought with the money donated by my wonderful friends in Australia. What an amazing feeling seeing people with little or no food in their homes being given a basketful of maize flour. It certainly is better to give than to receive!

The process was quite orderly and the 800 (?) 2 kg bags of flour disappeared very quickly. I don't know how quantities were decided but some people seemed to go away with a lot more. I am hoping that these were the most needy cases.

Here are some photographs so that you too can share this wonderful experience:

Typically Kenyan - a line for the men and another for the women

She will make lots of ugali with this

The distribution in progress

10 kg is quite a  heavy load

Carrying it home the traditional way

Happy recipients preparing to leave
