Belgaum: Hubli

Day 6

This is the 25th year of distributing SCAW bedkits in Hubli. In their opening ceremony the Rotarians thanked Sleeping Children and paid homage to Murray and Margaret Dryden for the contribution they have made to this community over the years. The Drydens are fondly remembered here.

Today 900 smiling children took home a bedkit of new belongings designed to give them a better night's sleep and to help them be successful in school.

We interviewed ten parents to get their feedback about the quality and usefulness of items in the bedkit. Parent interviews are an integral part of the distribution process. Their feedback is needed to ensure that we are meeting the needs of the children in the best possible way. Next year's bedkit will be designed with the suggestions of the parents in mind.

It is hard to believe that tomorrow is our last distribution day: 3700 bedkits have been given out and there are only 300 to go.

It is true that time flies when you are enjoying what you do. We feel blessed to be part of this wonderful experience.
