Belgaum: One thousand bedkits in one day

From Belgaum 2009 Photo Album
Today was incredible! We literally handed out over a ton of bedkits, and shook over a thousand tiny hands. there was an endless stream of slightly apprehensive but smiling children, who responded enthusiastically to singing and magic tricks.

With the Rotarians' excellent organization and the help of a terrific group of army cadets our initial distribution of one thousand bedkits went very smoothly.

The children waited patiently in the hot sun but were very pleased with and looked very smart in their new clothes.
there were many touching moments with lovely groups of truly charming children. It was certainly a very rewarding and satisfying day for everyone.

We look forward to an early start and another great day tomorrow.

We are sending the photo of Brian after handing out the bedkit to this young man. Who is happier, Brian or the young fella?
