Early Sunday morning, the SCAW team arrived
at the Hubli English Medium School to distribute 900 bedkits from 11
surrounding areas. The Distribution Chairman Raju and the Rotary Club President
Shri M.V.
Karmari warmly welcomed the team and showed us the well planned layout for the
distribution.
The
street behind the school was packed solid with children and parents waiting to
be registered for the distribution. The parents accompanied their children up
until they were dressed for the photo, when they reluctantly had to leave the
site and meet their children at the exit point once they had their bedkit.
The
Rotarians asked for a pause in the distribution in order to honour the SCAW
team and donors for their philanthropic spirit. Rotary President Shri M.V.
Karmari and other Rotary members placed sandalwood garlands on each member and
then said that Canada’s example should be emulated by more people in India. He also praised the 31 year association
between their Rotary Club and SCAW and hoped that many more children will be
helped in the future to have a better life.
