Our third day of distribution was totally amazing! First of all we drove through some spectacular countryside overlooking a beautiful lake surrounded by cascading hills.
Our drivers navigated along a narrow, bumpy road which wove through mountainous terrain to Pomgaon, north-west of Pune.
Upon arrival we were greeted by drummers and an elderly man playing a long circular horn. The six of us were loaded into a cart pulled by two oxen dyed pink for the occasion. With villagers on both sides of the lane this is how we made our entrance into town!
We were given a tikki (red dots on our forehead) before we began our work for the day. This was truly a memorable welcome for our team.
The distribution site was perfect and the surrounding scenery breathtaking. The children were well behaved and 422 bedkits were given out.

We left Pomgaon with warm blankets and very welcome hearts.
