Belgaum: Another Jam-Packed Day!

It was another busy and productive day for Team Belgaum. The day started with 1 ½ hour drive to Ramdurg where we distributed 500 bedkits to children of all ages and sizes. The drive to anywhere in India is always quite the experience as you never know what you will see on the road….goats, oxen, or motorcycles carrying anything from sugar cane to Grandma. The Ramdurg Rotarians were very well organized and the distribution started as soon as we set up. The whole operation was completed in just over 3 hours and after having lunch with our hosts we were back on the bus and on the road back to Belguam.

Once back in the city the team headed over to a location where the Belguam Rotarians, spouses, and Roto-Act members were hard at work assembling 1100 bed kits. These bed kids will be distributed to children in Belguam in the next few days. As you can see in the picture to the right, it was quite the operation. All the volunteers were enjoying themselves as the numerous items were passed from station to station and then on to the final assembly area. It was quite the sight to see 1100 bed kits all in one location. 

The day didn’t end here as we had the privilege to be invited to a sporting complex built and managed by the Belgaum Rotarians…..more on this to come. Apparently this is just a normal day for volunteers on a distribution with SCAW. I wonder what a busy day would look like.
