Day 8
We left Mumbai early in the morning for a 3-hour drive to our next destination of Palgar.
They say India is a country of villages and it is so true. We drove through village to village, dodging cows, ox carts, trucks, autorickshaws, bicycles, mortorcyles and other cars to give out our 125 bedkits.
As we drove we could see gorgeous mountains in the distance.
When we arrived at Palgar, we set up and were merrily giving out the bedkits and all at once a cow came strolling through the distribution.
We then drove to a village called Boiser for another distribution of 125 bedkits.
Both of these distributions went smoothly and to very deserving children.
Since we were 150 km from Mumbai we stayed overnight at a hotel in Dahane. To our delight, it was across from a beach on the Arabian Sea. It was not a beach to swim at but it certainly was a nice change from the noise and pollution of Mumbai.
We have now distributed over 3,000 bedkits.
Thank you donors.
