Our distribution began at approximately noon, with 400 kits
to deliver. The Rotarians were there
ready to go, so we began right after the small ceremony. We were blessed with flowers and ritual dots
on our heads. All made us feel very
welcome. The children were excited and
full of smiles and hellos. Duncan had
the children giggling within minutes like usual. Our distribution lasted about 3.5 hours, and
was very well organized.
We then joined the Rotarians for lunch next door, and headed off back to Belgaum. It didn’t take long for our hot, tired bodies to relax for the journey home. All in all, a wonderful day. It always warms the heart to see the children smile with their bag in hand, and know that 400 more will have a better sleep tonight.
To add to the great day, back at the hotel, outside the window is a party going on for a 12 day old baby. Babies are given naming ceremonies. This babies name is being revealed tonight. There are probably over a hundred people celebrating.
