The distribution was successful and we thank God for the good weather and safe travels He granted to us on the trip.
Our projects Coordinator, Caleb, did amazingly coordinating all the events of the day. He introduced the guests and, in detail, explained about Watchmen International.
Matt and the team from Ireland had time to talk to the beneficiaries and observe the entire distribution over both days. They also visited the nearby school and had time with the children.
They also introduced an idea of ringing the bell which they do during their trainings when a kit has been assembled. This bell was rung by every beneficiary who received a kit. This was to complete the process of assembling and receiving the kit. The distribution lasted two days with 160 households benefitting. These reside in Simbili 1 & 2 and Sirifi Zones.
There were beneficiaries from two nations – DR Congo and South Sudan, who speak different Languages. The Congolese spoke Swahili and Lingala while the Sudanese spoke Arabic. Stephen and Joseph spoke Swahili for training the Congolese Refugees while Fabian translated into Arabic for the Sudanese.
