For those of you who have seen The movie
the Life of Pi, the movie was filmed on the Bengal Bay by Puducherry
(Pondicherry). Puducherry is on the south west side of India. Congratulations
to our “Puducherrian” Rotarian for successfully hosting the very first SCAW distribution
in this area today. The children were very appreciative.
There was a new first for me too. All 500
bed kits had to be moved from their storage at the back of the meeting hall to
the outside parking lot. A human chain moved that mountain of bedkits first
before we could even hand them out to the children.
There was great excitement when the
“Minister” of the area came in support of the project. His political status
gave a huge boost to our project for the children under his watchful eye.
Many
highschool girls Red Cross Junior Helpers, had the opportunity to help too. Our
team monitored each station as they
honoured their duties perfectly.
Thank you Rotary Club of Puducherry for
joining the SCAW family of distribution sites. Your efforts are well
appreciated by the children in your neighbourhood.
