Today
we went to Male, our last distribution village for this 2014 trip to Pune,
India. Upon entering the school area, we were given our bindi and taken to
Mulshi Gardens, where we placed a flower in honour of Shree Senapati Bapat.
Then we walked to the throng of beautiful smiling children sitting so still
waiting for us. During the opening ceremonies, we showed the children the
contents of the bedkit. The ohhs and ahhs, and the laughter when they saw the
underwear, were music to our ears.
Today
one little boy had a smile from ear to ear when he received his gift. He was so
cute and excited. If only we had had a
camera at that moment!
At
days end we were treated to a delicious meal at a Rotarians home. The Rotarians continually show their
hospitality to all of us.
Even
though this is the last distribution day, we aren't done yet! Stay tuned for
more as we are visiting the manufacturing facilities and some of last year’s
bedkit recipients.
