Hi team - Wonderful details in the blogs and the photos help to make it all quite real to those of us back home.
Laurie-Beth - I did a SCAW presentation at Barclay yesterday which was well received. I had the Chennai 2011 bed kit so they could see the items that your team is distributing now.

Keep those blogs coming - All the best from Sally Jo

Hi Sue and team Chennai. I hope things are going well during your trip. Please keep the pictures coming.It is a great way to stay connected. It is sooooo cold here, as my partner says "it's colder than a banker's heart". Now for the sad news, Sue I KNOW you will know what to do in such a spiritual place, but John Wood has passed away, very sudddenly. I spoke with Gael and Glen,this evening, and they are devasated. Those are the only details I have at the moment, but will check the Globe and represent the family. Much love, Alan

Hi Sue and team Chennai. I am happy to hear that all is going well, and your hot weather contrasts to our frigid temperatures. Good to hear that Sue is doing a great job with the photography, I am not surprised. Wonderful to get your news.

Keep blogging along.

Hi Sue and the Chennai team,

You look happy in your arrival photo. It's good to read the blog and see how everything is going. Envy those T-shirts, we have frozen fingers and toes here in Ontario.
Good news that Sue is taking great photos of the kids, can't wait to see them.
It must be so satisfying to see the kids get the beds. Wonderful.

Hi JC, Kathy and the Chennai team,
Your blog is wonderful and extremely interesting. I am very interested in how appreciative the children seem to be, what a simple yet so meaningful donation. The photos are very informative and one can only imagine the smells, noise and heat (yes, you have missed the january freeze!)How lucky to be invited to an Indian wedding. All the best, keep safe and well.

Thanks for continuing to send along the pictures.They are terrific and a great way to feel connected with the work you are doing.I believe you are coming to the end of your distribution. No doubt you will have many fond memories of your visit, the friendships formed and the impact you have had on the children and their families. It's nice to know,as well, that your impact extends to your friends and families back home.People whom I have spoken with have been following the blog and are genuinely moved by the work you are doing and the pictures of the children. Well done!
Best to all.
Cheers,
Alan

Congratulations Team Chennai on a job well done. I have followed your journey with great interest as I was in Chennai in 2011. I recognized some of the sites. The Rotarians are a wonderful group to work with. Please give them my best wishes to all of them.
