Hi Dad and fellow members of Team Sri Lanka! Wonderful to see pictures and hear of your experiences. Touched to hear you gave a kit out to a young girl named Karen. I am sure she will enjoy it! I am sure you will never forget the smiles you recieve. Keep up the good work. Love you Dad/Grandpa, and super proud. Dave, Karen, Hope, Mackenzie and Samantha xoxo

Having a wonderful time here in Sri Lanka. Though physically tired, we are full of excitement. The rotarians, Sri Lankan army, and SCAW volunteers are working so well together. Truly an unforgettable experience.

Hi Lynette and team,

Hi Gary,
How great that you are in Sri Lanka for SCAW.
Lynette,
I agree with the writer above that the contents of one bedkit displayed was the first thing that caught my eye - it certainly contains many usedful items. That $35 went a long way.

We love seeing the pictures and reading the updates! Dad, we misunderstood about you giving out a kit to a girl named Karen...and realize that you actually gave out one of the kits you and Mom donated in the name of the nurse from McMaster. Wow!
