Today's distribution of 300 bekits took place at a Government school in Amirabad in the area of Jhalakathi. This is the first time that SCAW has made a distribution in this area. It was very evident the children where definitely in need. 50 of the children were from the school itself, 150 from the local area and the other 100 traveled approximately 7 km. The teamwork of the local rotarians and volunteers was truly evident from the moment we arrived. The children entertained the SCAW volunteers with dancing and a visit to their classrooms. We had the opportunity to meet a 110 year old man at the local tea stall who had donated the land for the school to be built 75 years ago. The day was a huge success and we were all very happy knowing that these 300 children and their families would be having a good night's sleep. A special thank to all our donors for making this a reality. We only have 2 distributions to go with 600 bedkits and our mission of 6000 bedkits will be complete.
