Kolkata: Contai

We had a wonderful early morning start today. At 6.30 AM we walked to the Bay of Bengal to catch the sunrise. There is a huge sand beach that you could walk on for miles. Our distribution was at Contai where we had the use of a big sports stadium.

The Rotarians had set up a big room to feed the children and a parent a hot meal before the children changed into their new clothes.

Outside there was a big wash up area with running water.

The pictures were taken on an open field with the back drop being a fence decorated with a sheet, balloons and colourful flowers. The bedkit distribution flowed smoothly and 649 children will get a better sleep tonight.

Happy bedkit recipient
