We had a great day! 571 very happy children received their bedkits. It was a glorious, cloudless, warm day and the Rotarians in this club were ultra efficient and very mindful about providing food and drinks for the children and their parents while they were waiting.
Don was doing the interviews with the parents, finding out what they thought about the gift they received. They were all overwhelmed. All the families were exceedingly poor and most slept on the dirt floor in their homes. The donation of the mattress and blanket would make a huge difference as they have no heat in their homes, and the temperature at this time is very cold, for them.
We are off to bed early tonight as we will be leaving the hotel at 6.30 on a 3-day road trip to the west of Kolkata tomorrow.
