Pune: A Unique Experience

From Pune 2012
Another warm day saw the Sleeping Children team heading to a rural village.

On arrival, we were transported on a cart pulled by decorated bullocks into the centre of the village flanked by the local people -- a unique experience for all of us.

The Rotary Club extended a very warm welcome to us that included the traditional blessings: roses, pooja, lighting of the lamps, and songs and dances by the children.

With the help of the Rotary Club members from Pune and numerous volunteers, the distribution proceeded smoothly. Today 686 children received a bedkit and tonight will "shan't zopa" (sleep well).
