Namaskar:
What a delight it was to have a change of pace and do today's distribution in a rural area. Mother Nature gave us a beautiful day : no rain, warm breezes and a wonderful site by the water. Some of our photos will include a local friendly dog who curled up for a snooze in the middle of the shoot! He obviously approved of the proceedings as he slept with us throughout most of the day.
4 ladies worked a very long day co-ordinating the identification and verification of which child would receive a bedkit. (See attached photo) A team of volunteers assisted in helping the children change into their SCAW clothing and all went so smoothly.
A special photo connected students in Canada with the children at our distribution today. Ray Lawson Public School in Brampton Ontario had a fundraiser and donated money for 35 bedkits for the children. We loved the approach of "from the children, for the children" and in the photo the Indian children say thank you.
All the children today were excited to shake our hands, and thank us, in English for their gift of a bedkit.
