Our distribution of 400 bed kits at Ramdurg went very
smoothly.
The site was compact and efficient. Canopies in the
schoolyard protected all from the very warm sun. Again the Rotarians greeted us
with flowers, this time necklaces of marigolds which were much heavier than one
would think.
The children were all quietly waiting for us to arrive .
Upon our arrival excitement reigned .
Again the women of the Inner Wheel and the young people
in training to be Rotarians were there eagerly assisting. Some kids gathered on
the roof of the school to watch the event.
Sue was ready at the camera for picture taking and the
team members organized the children for their picture"
Children lined up for their shoes, sweaters, school
supplies, raincoat and bed kits.
As they left they had a very full and heavy bag and were
extremely happy!
Parents and /or friends often greeted them and assisted
in carrying their bags.
Here in India many farm animals run free range. As you
can see pigs were hanging out in the
school yard.
This area of the country is a farming area and more green
than some other areas we have been to likely due to irrigation.
On the way back to the hotel we had the opportunity to
visit a most impressive World Heritage Site.
