Rotarian Rebecca distributed bras. She reports it went very smoothly and turned into quite a social day for young and old. She said that there were some quite young girls hanging around wondering when it would be their turn to be grown up enough to be given a bra of their own!

Bec has since delivered more to those who previously couldn't make the first day at Koroipita and also to another woman who was delighted to deliver bras to share with her own village - in particular to one woman who used to go to the dump to try to find clothes and bras!
