The Belgaum-Mumbai team met with the Belgaum OVP team for their
post-distrution meeting and open-air BBQ last evening. After discussing
each of the distribution sites, the bedkit items, the Overseas Reporting
Package and finances, we thanked each other for a very successful
distribution and the friendships that we have made or renewed. The team
will miss these friends but will long remember the wonderful experiences
that we have shared, especially the Belgaum 25th Anniversary of their
SCAW Partnership and the tremendous celebration of it. In particular, we
will miss our driver, Manjunath. He has been such an integral part of
our team over the past two weeks and we could not of done the
distribution as successfully without him.
The
distribution is not quite complete though. Our OVPs will be handing out
63 more bedkits in the next week when the bedkits are received from
Mumbai. Manjunath will advise them about the set up and taking pictures.
The OVPs will then post them to us to complete the distribution. Once
that is done, there will be 7,000 children whose lives will have been
improved in this area of India thanks to the SCAW donors.
