SCAW Bed Kit Distribution – Gokak - Day 4, 24th February 2026 | Gokak Suppliers Kalyan Mantap
On a warm February morning, the Community Hall at “Gokak Suppliers Kalyan Mantap” transformed into a celebration of care and compassion. From 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, the festive spirit was unmistakable as 800 bedkits found new homes in eager little hands. This meaningful initiative was powered by seventy-three dedicated Rotarians of the Rotary Club of Gokak, ten committed Inner Wheel members, and twenty enthusiastic students of Bachelor of Social Welfare. The coordination was smooth, the teamwork seamless — service at its finest.
Further, the well-disciplined organization of the team from the Rotary Club of Belgaum was truly flawless. President Rtn. Sandeep and Secretary Rtn. Dr. Santosh led a committed group of fellow Rotarians — Milind Patankar, Ajit Siddannavar, Manuel Carvalho, Raju Potdar, Jaideep Siddannavar, Dr. Gautam, and Umesh Sarnobat — with meticulous planning and impeccable execution.
The most heart-warming sight? Children receiving their bedkits with radiant smiles, clapping in spontaneous excitement. Their laughter filled the hall, turning a simple act of distribution into a moment of pure joy. It was not just about a bedkit — it was about comfort, dignity, and the reassurance that someone cares.
A particularly touching reflection came from team leaders Rtn. Sandeep Naik and Rtn. Dr. Santosh Patil: “This event opened our eyes. With such programs, we see how the whole world could become — a world of hope, a world of healing, a world of humanity.”
Indeed, that day in Gokak was not merely an event. It was a glimpse of that beautiful possibility.
