SCAW Bed Kit Distribution – Huballi 22nd February 2026
A Day of Warmth in Hubballi
On 22nd February 2026, SCAW brought its mission of comfort to Hubballi. In collaboration with the Rotary Club of Hubballi, 500 bedkits were distributed — benefiting 250 boys and 250 girls. Held at a local school from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM, the campus was filled with joyful anticipation. The children eagerly awaited their new school bags, pencils, clothes, and bedkits — each item received with sparkling eyes and happy smiles.
The project was powered by 40 Rotarians and Rotary Anns from the Rotary Club of Hubballi. Supporting them were 12 Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Belgaum — Rtn. Mukund Bang, Shilpa Kodkini, Rtn. Akshay Kulkarni, Rtn. Chetan Pai, Rtn. Ashok Paranjape, Rtn. Madhav Prabhu, Rtn. Anish Metrani, Rtn. Raghav Mohta, Rtn. Nitin Gujar, Niranjan Sant, and Rtn. Manoj Pai — who ensured a smooth and dignified distribution. A professional photographer captured these memorable moments.
Importantly, 20 intellectually disabled children were thoughtfully included. Their parents expressed heartfelt gratitude for this gesture of equality — a deeply moving reminder that compassion must always be inclusive. As Team Leader Rtn. Manisha Herekar reflected: “This distribution at Hubballi was more than an event. It was a reminder that when we uplift the underprivileged with dignity, even a small contribution can bring immense comfort. When a child sleeps peacefully on a bedkit given with love, the warmth travels far beyond the fabric.” SCAW continues its journey — spreading not just comfort, but hope.
