Belgaum: Big Day

Our team had a request to take a picture of 40 children! Here is our team Leader preparing the group of 40. It was the BIGGEST picture ever taken in the Belgaum distribution.

From Belgaum 2012

1,000 bedkits were distributed in Belgaum, the home area for our Overseas Volunteer Organization (OVO), The Rotary Club of Belgaum.

This well-oiled Rotary machine made our job of distributing 1,000 bedkits easy!

This brings our total to 2,500 bedkits with another 2,000 to be distributed over the next four days. The children came from as far away as 50 km outside the city.

When one of our Rotarians was asked if all the 1,000 children chosen to receive the bedkits actually showed up at the distribution to receive their Gift of Sleep, he said that all 1,000 appeared because they knew from previous recipients in the Belgaum area just how valuable the bedkit would be to them.

So, our hats are off to the members of The Rotary Club of Belgaum for another successful distribution. And, just to top it all off, we took a picture of 40 children for an “In Memorial” donor (usually group pictures go up to ten children).

Tonight, our SCAW Team attends the regular Friday night meeting of The Rotary Club of Belgaum and it will be a celebration for sure!

Just to put the cherry on top of the sundae, several members of The Rotary Club of Belgaum will be attending The Pinehurst Club breakfast in Toronto on May 9th!
