Pune: Ghargaon

After a three-hour van ride, being entertained by our partner Rotary Club of Pune Cantonement, we arrived at our distribution centre, Ghargaon.

We were greeted with a band, folk dances, and welcome speeches by the kids and were showered with roses. We looked out to a sea of parents as the day was well-attended by mothers and fathers alike.

Everything ran smoothly and we finished our 653 bedkits in three hours. We were served a traditional Indian feast made at the school in huge pots and enjoyed by all.

We are grateful for all the support from the Rotary Club members and the many volunteer helpers.

Tomorrow is another full day, driving three hours out to rural India.

Thank you! (and now we are off to bed!)
