January 27, 2006The day came quickly to distribute everything! While there were a few glitches, such a Winn getting his bags stuck in customs, we managed to pull everything off JUST IN TIME! Carrying 2 carloads of school supplies and another with 2 pinatas we arrived at the pasture with 110 kids eagerly waiting! We decided, let's play first! The kids pulled together a really sweet presentation of a song and dance for our collaborators Give a Kid a Back Pack Foundation. Later we 'did' the pinatas. Let me tell you, they are quite interesting and I am still not sure who imagined the
concept of teaching children to hit an animal full of candy with a stick, blindfolding the child who hits
the animal, with tons of other kids eagerly standing hear the blindfolded kid with the stick, then all the kids dive in once it is broken while the poor blindfolded kid has no idea he broke it open until the candy is gone! :-) Later once the pinata chaos was over the children sat
very nicely in a circle and wait
ed for their names to be called to receive their new school supplies. Rosanna Kingston Director of Give a Kid a Backpack passed out the packs.
