Our second distribution was in Vellore. It took place in a marriage hall, a very interesting venue.
It got off to a roll after a special welcoming ceremony from our Rotarian hosts. We were introduced to the children, teachers and parents. Then our fearless leader, Tom, gave a short talk to the children. He talked about all the special donors who care about them very much. A giant poster filled the entire wall behind the stage. "Thank you SCAW," was written in large letters across a weigh scale balancing a child and the world. "Rotary Club of Ambattur," was spread in large letters across the bottom. It was a very special welcome for our team.
This is my first trip with Sleeping Children Around the World. I felt much more at ease with the process and my duties today after my initiation in Killpauk yesterday.
One of my jobs today was handing out the bedkits to the children. It was wonderful seeing their happy faces.
We had a very successful and rewarding day in Vellore.
