1350 bedkits handed out to 1350 delighted Bangladeshi
children all in one day!
The Rotary Club of Dhaka travelled east from Pabna (Rowly’s
home town) towards the Brahmaputra River to the town of Kashintapur.
There were local elections underway which caused some
concerns with travel for some of the children who had been selected to receive
a bedkit. Rather than disappoint any children the Rotary team made the decision
to postpone the first day and put two days worth of bedkits into one day’s
distribution.
The grounds of the Abdul Latif High School had been chosen
for this massive 1350 bedkit distribution. Luckily ten unexpected volunteers arrived at the last minute to help
with the workload!
The Rotary Team, assisted by willing volunteers, spent
seven hours straight in scorching temperatures, well over 30 degrees, to make
sure the 1350 children received their bedkits. A wonderful demonstartion of
dedication and commitment. Thank you!
The school Principal help end this successful day on a high
note when he invited all the
volunteers to supper. What a great gesture!
