Belgaum: Ramburg

It is an in incredible opportunity and experience to be a new volunteer with SCAW - Team Belgaum.  On today’s blog, I would like to give a “shout out” to the families .... single parent, mother, father, grandparent and/or uncle. Many travelled over 25 km to get to the distribution, either on foot, bus, or a shared vehicle.

The distribution takes time and the parents waited very patiently for at least 4 to 5 hours in 32 degrees Celsius, with limited shade from the sun and in crowded conditions outside the centre.

They also have to retrace their trip with the child and the bedkit. A very, very long day!!!!  However, the wait was worth it when their daughter or son was escorted to their family with a bedkit often bigger than the child.

Every parent wants the best for their child, and our generous donors help them achieve this objective. The family interview on bedkit items and sleep habits is an important part of the process. 

The gratitude, smiles and happiness are priceless!!!!

Today we distributed 600 bedkits, and to date there are a total of 2000 extremely happy children and their families who will get a better sleep!!

For the children,
