Today we headed deep into farm country. We passed plot after plot of corn, rice, bamboo, and wheat along with other vegetables to arrive at Harugiri and 400 waiting boys, girls and parents. They were really pleased to see us and two girls sang for us. When they saw what was in the bedkit they became increasingly excited.
Both children and parents were some of the most thankful and appreciative that we have experienced. They were quick to indicate how much the bedkit meant to them.
At the end of the distribution we were very fortunate to be able to visit the homes of two of the children who had received bedkits. The first had only one room and the second two small rooms. Both homes had dirt floors and virtually no furniture.. The families were happy to host us and were proud of their homes.
We ended the day by visiting a Belgaum swimming pool built by the Rotary who had 200 handicapped children taking free lessons when we arrived.
