Belgaum: Second distribution day

From Belgaum Photos 2010

Our second day of distributions took place in Belgaum, which is the city where we are now based.

Today, we gave out 1000 bedkits ... it sounded like a daunting task. On arrival ,the street in front of the area was packed with parents so this had to be cleared to allow us to get in. We had an amazing greeting from 1000 children, waving and smiling at us.

The Rotarians are very organized, so the flow of processing the children was very functional. In the afternoon I had the "job" of helping to hand out the bedkits. I found this a very emotional experience, since I was being personally thanked with grateful smiles and beautiful eyes.

I am humbled to be able to be thanked on each donor's behalf, and to witness the joy in each child's face and their parent's face, as they departed with the treasured bedkit.

Namaste.
