Warm Sleeping Kits Distributed in Indapur. This blog post was written by Sakina Pittalwala, one of our Rotarian partners.
Today was a special day. We were in Indapur, a town about 125 kilometers (or 78 miles) away from Pune city. This was our first day of giving out sleeping kits in Indapur, and it was Day 4 of our whole project.
We were happy to give warm sleeping kits to about 670 young children. These children were chosen from 49 different schools in Indapur and the nearby villages. We held the distribution at a very kind place: an Ayurvedic hospice. Ayurveda is India’s traditional, ancient medicine system, using natural ingredients.
About Indapur:
Indapur is a very old, historical town. It has links to the great Maratha King, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The town is also known for its ancient temples, especially the Indreshwar Temple, which is the town's main place of worship. It also sits near the Ujani Dam and the Bhima River, which makes the area important for farming.
Our Partners and Plans:
Today’s great effort was helped by our main partner, the Rotary Club of Pune Cantonment, and by the Rotary Club of Indapur. Thank you for making this possible.
We are staying the night in Indapur and hope to distribute 700 more kits tomorrow!
Thank you to everyone who helped make this day a success!
