Kolkata: It Takes a Village!!!

It takes a village of volunteers to host a distribution. Today I looked around  and noted how many different people were needed to make the distribution successful.



A handyman hanging the backdrop curtain for the pictures, young men acting as a human chain to keep the curious parents at bay. A SCAW volunteer entertaining the kiddies while waiting before the distribution, an emergency services guard attending the children.




 There were caregivers, organizers and directors and strong men to load and unload 700 bedkits off the trucks.


There was a sound board technician setting up the microphone for notifying parents to collect their child at the gate, Providers of food for the children, bus drivers, The Rotarians always assisting us, helping translate to allay the concerns of the children, volunteer ticket collectors, assistants to carry the heavy bed kit, and very generous site responders. How blessed we are to always find people young and old stepping in to make this world a better place.
