Belgaum: Mission Accomplished

From Belgaum Photos 2010

Our last distribution was in a rural area centered in the town of Kundgol. 300 children received bedkits and the local Rotarians (a small club) worked hard to host the distribution in a local school. As our distribution of 4,000 bedkits in the Karnataka area comes to an end, we pay tribute to hundreds of volunteers and Rotarians who made it possible for our SCAW team to take photographs for our donors and to hand out the bedkits on behalf of our many wonderful donors.

We would also like to pay tribute to our 7^th member of the SCAW Belgaum Team: Manjunath, our driver. Not only did he get us safely to and from each distribution site, he was with us at each site volunteering his time from start to finish and helping us interpret the needs of the children and volunteers. The Sleeping Children program is just like a big circle starting with our donors, followed by the volunteers in the SCAW office who pass the baton to our exceptional Overseas Volunteers (The Rotarians headed by the Belgaum Club) and then back to our donors with pictures and newsletters.

At our last meeting with the Rotarians, we celebrated SCAW's 40th Birthday, with Judy Dryden cutting the cake as we sang "Happy Birthday to SCAW!"

Here ends our distribution in Karnataka. "Thank You" to all who had a hand in this wonderful adventure. 4,000 children are sleeping peacefully tonight in Karnataka, India. WOW!
