Oh, the joys of airline travel! Trust you are able to improvise in the meantime and wishing you many wonderful adventures and successful distributions. With Laura along, everything will be even more wonderful!
Sorry about the luggage. Wishing you all a very happy and successful distribution. Give my regards to those wonderful Rotarians. I will follow your journey with great interest. Take care, Eileen Rademacher
Hi Laurie-Beth, John, Laura, Aniya, Theodora, & Iain: Glad you arrived safely even though you had to reroute. Sounds like you might need some bedkits to get some sleep! Thanks for Keeping Murray's Dream Alive! Enjoy your time with the children and our Rotarian Friends. Stay safe and healthy. Duncan & Susan Macgregor.
Team Chennai; First Posting didn't make it I guess, so trying again. Following your trip with great interest and anticipation. Wish you all well. India is a wonderful place with such terrific, friendly, and generous people. Best Wishes also to the Rotarians of Ambattur and Port Blair. Wish I was there too. Hello to all.
Hi John and Laurie-Beth Glad to hear of your safe arrival in spite of the misadventure with your luggage. We took a copy of your posting to the dinner to-night and it was passed around amongst the group. Everyone wishes you a safe and successful trip. It's a wonderful thing that you are all doing. All the best. We are thinking of you. Draper and Marilyn Wood
HI team - So good to see your photos and learn about distributions to 1000 or more kids in just two days! Just think! That many families now have sleeping materials to be shared and school equipment that will make a difference for each of those boys and girls.
Hi Laurie Beth, John, Laura, Iain, Theodora and Aniya. I tryed earlier to send a message but it did not get through I guess. Glad to see things have settled down and you are making great headway. I realy miss not being their. Carry on the good work. Doug.
WHY a private school? The kids who go here have rich parents and can afford to pay for everything. WHY not a school which is for free for the really poor kids and adults?
Gloria - Perhaps others have replied to your comment but I can assure that the pupils attending the private school did not receive a bed kit.
Deserving children would have been brought to that location which permitted a safe place for the distribution to take place. If you read other trip reports you will see that distributions are done in a variety of settings, including the homes of sponsoring Rotarians. Check out the Bangladesh 2011 report for an example.
Good Morning John, Laurie Beth and Team Chennai We are following your travels and continuing to admire your good works. Yesterday Mark asked us to say "hello" and to let you know that everyone is thinking of you. Stay healthy and safe.
Hello Laura, Laurie-Beth and Team: How I loved reading of your latest distribution...such a warm welcome...you must have felt like the angels that you are! Thank you for sharing your adventures...those children...as are all the children in every country SCAW goes to, are so beautiful!
Greetings and blessings to all Team Chennai. I am following your journey closely as it is very dear to my heart. Please convey my best wishes to the wonderful Rotarians who work with you. So glad Iain to see you smiling and with you shoes on, atop the upper bunk. That is where I perched, directly underneath an air conditioning unit! Take care! Eileen Rademacher
