Chennai: Andaman Islands

From Chennai 2012
Our day started bright and early at 3 am this morning.

At the airport we celebrated John Page's birthday and Valentines Day of course. The Rotary Club surprised us with a delicious chocolate cake. (See John Page, Rajesh, and Ravi Shankar in photo).

We arrived in Port Blair at 9 am, to a comfortable 26 degrees.

We travelled from the airport to the distribution site, surrounded by lush palm trees and teak plantations. We also passed a working elephant, he was unloading a truck load of lumber. (In the photo is the elephant trainer and Aniya Nandy).

This is the third time a distribution has been held in the Andaman Islands. Today we completed our largest distribution of our Chennai trip totalling 666 bedkits.

We had lots of supportive parents waiting for their children outside the gate. We can't believe tomorrow is our last distribution. The Islands are beautiful and we are looking forward to it.
