Belgaum: Day One!


Team Raymond James assisted in the distribution of 1,114 bedkits on this eventus day 1 for the 5 brand new scaw volunteers.  It took a little bit of time to get into a rhythm but we got there very quickly. 
It was a great experience for all of us. 
We arrived into a giant sea of love and for a while surrounded by hundreds of screaming happy children it ‎must have been how the Beatles felt.
The children were very excited to see us and we played balloon volleyball and took their pictures. The kids really loved that. 
At first the kids were shy. but one smile from us and ‎we were rewarded with their beautiful smiles in return. Once inside the site we were treated to singing and reciting their abc,s and numbers but then it was down to the distribution. 
It was a long day but thoroughly rewarding to see the girls in their beautiful ‎new dresses and the boys proudly showing off their new outfits. Getting smiles for the photographs was easy!
The location was very suitable for this purpose and the Rotarians and all the other volunteers were very helpful and integral in the distribution‎.
We are anticipating another incredible  Day 2!
