Pre scaw distribution activities;
Prior to the scaw distribution we were invited to visit a preschool in the outskirts of Mumbai by a colleague of the team members.
We visited two schools which were located in the slums. The conditions were very poor. Regardless of the conditions, the brightness in the children's eyes and their excitement to see us and show us their progress was very touching. This visit gave us an idea on how our efforts with SCAW were also going to make a very important impact on the children in Belgaum.
Scaw predistribution;
We all arrived in Belgaum and were picked up by Manju, our trusted driver who brought us to our hotel.
We freshened up and headed off to the predistribution meeting to meet the trustees of the Belgaum scaw distribution.
The agenda was to make introductions and discuss the distribution logistics. The bedkit was viewed and the process for the distribution was reviewed by all in attendance.
The team members were very impressed by the number and quality of items in the bedkit . It was mentioned by the rotarians that the retail value of the bedkits exceeded the 35 dollars due to the excellent negotiations skills and bulk buying by the rotarians.
After the formalities of the predistribution we got to know each other better while enjoying the wonderful Indian cuisine.
We retired after a long but incredibly motivating day.
