Belgaum 2020: Final day of distributions

We distributed 500 bedkits in Karwar today, meeting our total of 8,000. The site used was a community centre and as on previous days, many of the children travelled up to 25 km to reach the site. The children were excited with our arrival and more so when they received the items in the bedkit. Our team enjoyed the interaction with the children and seeing the smile on their faces was worth the trip.

Following the distribution, we travelled 4.5 hours back to Belgaum. Part of the drive was though the National Forest, where we saw a number of monkeys. That evening we attended a meeting with the Belgaum Rotarians to review each distribution to see if improvements can be made. We all concluded that the distribution was a success, bringing joy to 8,000 children.
