From Chennai 2011 |
When we arrived at a wedding hall that was our venue for the distribution there was a large bright welcome sign for Sleeping Children Around the World. There was also a motif on the ground which was made of crushed rice and coloured powder. This motif consisted of flowers and birds, which was quite artistic and beautiful.
After introductions and speeches, we were entertained by four groups of young dancing girls prior to the distribution. Each group had their own distinctive dance routine and was much appreciated by us all.
Most of the children who we distributed bedkits to were from the outlying rural areas. They were all so patient waiting for their turn to have their photos taken and then to receive their bedkits.
To see the wonder and happiness in each child’s eyes was a sight to behold and will forever be with all of us. It has certainly been a great experience to be a part of Sleeping Children Around The World, to share our encounters with children in need, and to know that we are helping -- one child at a time.
