Today was my first Runda Trip as an active member of the Interact club.
We all met up at Java Gigiri early in the morning around 9:30am then we each divided ourselves into groups and shared cars to follow Mrs. Henderson’s car to the Runda Feeding Program. The moment we got there, we met the Rotary International people, and then we set to work. We unpacked hundreds of breads, milk, biscuits, muffins, candies, mandazies and juices, which we were then going to distribute equally among the endless line of unfortunate people aging 1-60 years old. I was in charge of both muffin and slices of bread station, I would pass one of each to the kids, sometimes they would come to me carrying their little sibling on their backs, then I would be forced to give them the full bread and 2 muffins. By the end, it was very painful to watch the last 10 people of 200 in total not having anything, given that it was finished. And the fact that this is their only food, which will last them only a week, is distressing!
This trip definitely taught me how fortunate and blessed I am, and we all should always do whatever we can to help those in need. I was very proud too that the Interact club, we donated 20,000KES for this feeding program. I will continue this noble cause.
