Today, the team would like to acknowledge all the extra work that has gone on by non- Rotarian volunteers on this distribution. We could not have done any of it without their assistance.
From the local women who helped the children change into their new clothing, to the people who have provided food for both the children, their families and us. Our incredible driver, Dilip who has negotiated us SAFELY through the craziness of Kolkata traffic and then pitched in and assisted us at each and every distribution and Deba who has worked tirelessly, trouble shooting, replacing damaged items, and delivering mango juice to a grateful SCAW team. Our four guys who are in charge of loading up of the bedkits in Kolkata, driving to the distribution sites and then off-loading the kits so we can give them to the children. Imagine 5,000 x 13 lbs (per bedkit). ...! Alok, Bai, and another personal driver chauffeur people to and from the sites (us included) then carry items for the distribution once we get to the sites and also help with carrying the kits for the little children. At the school for the blind, the local scout group helped with crowd control and handing out bedkits.
If all of these people had to be paid for the amount of hours they have donated with their time, energy and enthusiasm, we could not have afforded them. How grateful we are that they believe in what Team Kolkata is doing! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Team Kolkata 2016
