Chennai: Vellore Part 2



We held a second distribution at the Kumaran Mahal, Sathuvacharry in Vellore today.  We had a short but interesting drive to the site as we drove against the majority of traffic on a roadway that was marginally wider than single lane.  Eventually after a detour down some dirt roadways we got into the traffic flow and to our site.

Our first youth were deaf and mute, but still managed to say thank you as best they could.  The distribution of 700 bedkits went well with lots of help from our driver who was awesome. He pitched in and helped wherever needed without being asked.

During the interviews, the youth and parents were thrilled with their bedkits and were very excited about making use of the supplies.  Both parents hope that their children will continue on to college.  One mother was so overwhelmed that she had tears in her eyes as we finished our interview.  It makes you appreciate the power of these bedkits to the recipients.
