hello Team Belgaum! I am with you in spirit, remembering my time there last year. I hope you will stay at the Eefa Hotel, and meet with the waiter who looks like Denzel Washington. Enjoy the wonderful children, and the expressions on their faces when they realise all the bedkit is for them.

Very best wishes,
Margaret

Hi Team Belgaum:
Have a GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT trip and give hugs to all the Rotarians in Belgaum. Also, say a BIG HELLO to Manjunath! Get those kazoos out and enjoy meeting 4,000 wonderful children. We'll look forward to hearing the news on the blogs.
Stay healthy. You are keeping Murray's dream alive!

Great report on touring Mumbai. Fun to get into the "tourist mode" before doing the real SCAW work.
Please say Hi to Rajnikant when you meet him. We worked together on distributions in 2003 and 2005. He is very devoted to SCAW's work.
All the best - Sally Jo Martin

Hey mom, looks like you are doing well and of course spreading happiness. So great to see all the happy faces! Enjoy the warmth and sunshine there, as we are hitting negative double digits here.

Be safe,

Are those Valentine tuques - in India!
It was -25C when I blew our driveway out a few minutes ago.
However, those childrens' smiles sure do brighten a Canadian winter, eh.

Your pics from Nipani visit look excellent ~ especially the lady on the scooter. At least she isn't crossing a busy street on foot.
Looks like backdrop is from Sherway Mall ~ with new arrivals pullovers, sweaters ~ we could sure use these here in Toronto. Looks like all is well & distribution is getting the bed kits out to those happy faces ~ keep it up

Your blogs say so much about the hospitality of the Rotarians, the impact of the bed kit for the children and the memories being made for you all. Thanks for sharing.

A heady eclectic cultural cocktail of Maharashtrian, Goan, and Kannada traditions, Belgaum (Belagavi) lies far up in the Western Ghats. The place seamlessly blends the quiet dignified grace of the British cantonment area with the pulsating energy of the old town inhabited by cotton and silk traders.
