Good luck to friend Jan Pearce and the team. Our prayers will be with you all. Bon voyage, and have a fun time. Murray Dryden was a family friend, and we admire the work of SCAW very much.
I am really happy to know that SCAW has such a wonderful project of providing bedkits to so many poor, marginalised and in quite a number of cases, unwanted children in India. I look forward to meeting your team at Badu Road on 18th. January, 2009. My only gratitude to your team and the wonderful donors in Canada and elsewhere, are my sincere prayers for your well being and prosperity always.
Good luck and safe travels, Team Kolkata 2009. You will be arriving in Kolkata any moment now! Thank you for your wonderful work: enjoy the smiles of the children! I look forward to meeting you in Kolkata on January 31 at the end of your distribution.
Hello Team Kolkata 2009. You are probably still trying to get over the jet lag and you are already hard at work. Thank you for all you do to make this work. We can do the initial organizing, but you make it happen. Be safe and enjoy the smiles! Namaste!!!!

Thanks so much Ron for sending the phone message. I know that all of us having been thinking about you and concerned. We had our pastoral care gathering today and so I was able to let everyone know that you were safely in India and doing well. We all send our love. God bless Vicky
Glad to know you're underway. Too bad about the flight delays. India is a really huge country, if alternate airport, Hyderabad, is 12,000 km away from Kiolkata! Stan was filling some of us in, based on Jan's phone calls. Keep up the good work.
Greetings Team Kolkata and especially my would-have-been roomie, Jan! Glad to hear you are finally there, safe and sound and that distributions are underway. I hope you can look at your delay positively as "extra sightseeing".Enjoy the children! Will be looking forward to future postings. Janice Gillespie
You must all be quite exhausted! Wonderful that you are finally in Kolkata. I hope your hotel is comfortable. Please send my best wishes to the Rotary gentleman of Dum Dum, and my love to the children Margaret

Hello Team Kolkata, A special hello to Janet Wilson as I have great memories of our first trip to Mumbai in 2004. Keep up the good work!1 Enjoy the children and Stay Safe! Judy Snobelen
Hello to Team Kolkata, especially my Aunt Janet! Glad to catch the updates on the blog and see the pictures. I just learned about the website and look forward to checking it frequently. I greatly respect and appreciate the work the team does in providing these bedkits to underprivileged children. Best of luck, and continued success. Enjoy your trip! (Love you Aunt Janet) Sarah Wilson
Great work again this year! Way to go, Leader Irene and Team! I loved seeing the pictures, and remember so many of the Rotarians and their spouses. How nice to see them, as well as Tapan in one of the pictures. You are on the downhill now, and will be home to snowy Ontario before you know it. Lots and lots of snow!!! Best of Luck, and enjoy your last few days. Stay safe. Katharine, Team Kolkata '09
Please let Jan Pearce know that I miss her and I have been following the blog, voice mails and one email with great interest. Unfortunately, most calls have been on voice mail. Would it be possible to agree to a set time for a phone call so I can make sure I am here to receive it? I can't return calls to the cell phone number. Anytime except Friday evening and Saturday morning (during Out of the Cold time Jan).
I am relaying all communication to the rest of our family and friends who are keenly interested as well.
We are all proud of your commitment and dedication to the distribution. You all should be proud that your efforts ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!
Wow - you sure are a resourceful group - on-road van repairs, barge travel. I suspect a good thing you didn't see the tigers - sound dangerous to me. Glad to know you are doing ok. Jan - Stan admitted to me that he was lonely - although he's been skiing up a storm I think. Keeping you in my prayers. Glenn
Congratulations on persuing your dreams and helping others, Jan Pearce and team!!Congratulations to your driver for finding a western facility for the women. Bob and Ruth Miller
