Belgaum: Our first Distribution

From Belgaum 2011
We were on the road by 7:00 a.m.

Seven tired volunteers boarded the bus for a three-hour trip to our first village at Athani where we distributed 350 bedkits. The cheers of the excited children were overwhelming.

After a few magic tricks and song-songs, we settled in and started our distribution. Out of 350 children, forty were orphans.

Everything went smoothly without any hiccups. When done, we packed up our gear and loaded the bus for another two-hour trip to another village called Nipani where we handed out 100 more bedkits. This was the first ever SCAW distribution held in Nipani.

In all, we had a successful and rewarding day.
