The day began unlike any other for the fact that we had very little travel time. What we did arrive to was a sea of people in a small street! The distribution was 1000 bedkits .. .that means 1000 kids and 1000 parents. The bedkits here are so heavy that a child does need adult assistance to get them home with them.
The Belgaum Rotary team runs like a well-oiled machine. They have a great system and do double checks on counts and kids along the way. We at SCAW always give out the exact amount of kits on a distribution ... never 999 or 1001 ... our goal for today was 1000 and we succeeded.
One small issue that happened in the area before we arrived was that there was flash flooding in the part of the country that produces the blanket. The Belgaum Rotary team had to really pull some strings to get the blankets here on time. We thank them for making that extra effort!
