Belgaum 2020: Day 2 of Distributions - a team effort

Our day started with started with a drive of one and a half hours. We shared the road with motorcycles, tuk tuks, goat herds, roving oxen and small black pigs along the way.

In the past year, the area suffered through a devastating flood, damaging many homes and depriving the residents of necessities. As a result, the local Rotary Club answered the call for help and through the generosity of SCAW donors, we were able to increase our bedkit numbers to accommodate many needs of the community. 

During interviews, the parents expressed their deep gratitude and appreciation for replacement of some of their losses, to make family life more comfortable. 

Because of the large number of children receiving bedkits, our team was happy to have many volunteers including, among others, student teachers, nursing students and Boy Scouts, in addition to our faithful Rotarians. With our combined efforts, over 1,200 children left with smiles, the necessities for a good night sleep, and hopefully a chance to start anew.
