We have successfully completed four distributions and all is going well. The Rotarians are ensuring our comfort and pleasant stay in Kolkata/Calcutta and the surrounding area. We have done distributions in new sites as well as the locations of previous years.
Yesterday's distribution in Barasat was located in the shady comfort of the gardens of a Rotarian's country home. Setting and circumstances allowed us considerable time to spend with the children prior to the distribution. I think we managed to get some great smiles from them in the photos as a result and the occasional North American tradition of a thankful handshake.
As always, we leave each distribution with the imprint of hundreds of joyful smiles of the children. Memories which will stay with us forever.
Regards from all of us,
Irene Harrison, for the SCAW 2008 Kolkata Team
P.S.: We braved crossing four lanes of chaotic traffic to get to this cybercafé. We are tired enough after a long time to brave the return journey in order to get some rest.
