Chennai: Kilpauk

From Chennai 2012
Today our distribution was in Kilpauk.

Sunday is considered to be a day of rest when you are able to spend time with your family, so the streets were comparatively quiet and calm. We arrived at the Sindhi Model SR, SEC School, where the students, teachers, and parents gathered in the outdoor auditorium.

The school's courtyard is surrounded by large trees and plants and they have two basketball nets.

With the help of the Ambattur Rotary Club we were able to quickly set up and begin. While the children were being organized in their lines, we were able to get to know the children's names, and got some insight on their future aspirations.

When asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" a popular response was an engineer, a doctor, and a teacher.

We distributed 423 bedkits today and received a big smile in return with each one.
