Chennai: Tiruvallur

Our SCAW team got to sleep in today!  Up and on the road for 6:30am so we could get ahead of the chaotic Chennai traffic and on our way to Tiruvallur which is about an hour and a half from our hotel.  We had breakfast en route with some of our Rotary partners and learned the traditional Indian way to cool our hot tea. 


On arrival at the local high school in Tiruvallur,  we were greeted with garlands and warm welcomes.  We set up for the bedkit distribution in the school's courtyard.  It began to rain so we moved everything in doors and got underway with lots of smiling, happy kids. 




The rain stopped so we moved outdoors again and carried on giving out more bedkits to more happy kids. 



Throughout all of this, we were very fortunate to have the enthusiastic assistance of numerous students from the high school.


Just imagine 581 smiling kids with bedkits heading home today -- that's the joy of SCAW!
