SCAW Blog: Nepal, 2026: May 14

Today is our last distribution day in Nepal. After 6 days and 16 distributions I was truly overwhelmed by the expression of love from the people of Nepal. 

Today, the proud hilltop people of the Gorkha region gathered en masse for our first distribution and effectively "piped" us in using their traditional instruments. Everyone was ready and smiling - Namaste greetings were in abundance. I had to fight back the tears realizing the importance of this gift provided by SCAW. After the ceremony we distributed 243 bed kits in 38 minutes. All hands were helping from the SCAW team, Rotary Members, to the teachers, to the senior students, and even the mayor of the municipality. 

Distribution 2 was full of fanfare and dance performances by the children before we distributed to two schools including the second group of school children who had walked a few kilometers to be there. This was followed by more dancers and presentations by local dignitaries who play a critical role in making this happen. 

We, the SCAW team, can't thank our Rotary partners and municipal officials enough, and together with caring principals and teachers, the Nepal 2026 distribution has been a success and thousands of children are now sleeping better in Nepal.
