| From Kolkata Rotary Photos 2010 |
First, the bedkit items have to be procurred at the best price, so that your $35 donation goes as far as possible. Then these items are rolled into bedkits which have to be stored and transported to the various distribution sites.
At this stage, all the children have been selected and a way of getting them to the distribution site has to be organized. The sites have to be large secure areas to allow the flow of dressing, photographing, and giving out the bedkits without keeping the children waiting in line too long. Some have already travelled for several hours to get there. The Rotarians and their wives come to all the distributions to process and help the SCAW team wherever possisble.
Then there is the SCAW team of six volunteers which has to be met, housed, fed, and transported. WOW!!!! But that is not all. During our visit to Kolkata, Peter and I developed a very scary cough which did not seem to want to leave. Two Rotarian doctors visited us at the hotel, night and morning, prescribed treatment and medication and looked after us in every way possible.
The Rotarians of Dum Dum -- for more than ten years with SCAW -- have been living up to their motto which is the title of this blog post.
