Pune: Another smooth distribution

From Pune 2011
Today was a joyful day.

We started our work by joining in with a parade of children clapping, dancing, playing musical instruments, leading us into the school yard. Some of our team members had the honour of riding in a cart behind an oxen which had been decorated in a myriad of colours for the event. The scaw distribution was a definite cause for celebration in this village!

We joined our Pune Rotarians in welcoming some Business School students who were brought by their teacher to participate in the distribution. These bright and eager students were there to learn about teamwork, about volunteerism, about community involvement, and they were a delightful addition to our International team.

From Pune 2011
Following our work, we were invited to eat lunch with the teachers and Rotarians and helpers. Sitting cross-legged on the floor of the school we enjoyed each other's company and the traditional local cuisine.

The work went smoothly, the children were happy, a good day had by all!
