Chennai: Baratang

From Chennai Photos 2010

The last distribution in Baratang was full of mixed emotions. You are happy to have delivered a useful gift, but sad to know you won’t see so many thankful little faces at one stretch for a long time.

This was our smallest number: 236. Our setup was quickly done, so we began with the children present and continued as they arrived by bus. It was my pleasure to sit with a beautiful, patient, and polite child as she waited for seven more children to arrive for the giving of our final eight bedkits.

We also had the pleasure of visiting two recipients’ homes to better understand what their daily accommodations are and see why the bedkits are such an enhancement to their lives.

Thank you Sleeping Children for giving me the opportunity and thank you to all the wonderful Indian people who made our task as easy and rewarding as they could.
