Today was a day filled with
community spirit, organization and cooperation. Our Pune team members helped to
pack 1,000 of the 8,000 bed kits to be distributed. The other 7,000 were packed at
seven other sites close to where they will be given out.

What a joy to see
students, teachers, Rotary members, and our SCAW team working side by side to
pack the numerous items the children will receive! First we packed the
backpacks with school supplies, rain ponchos, pillow cases, washcloths and
towels. Then we filled large woven carry bags with blankets, pillows, ground
sheets, bedding, yoga mats, clothing, and mosquito nets. Any factory would have
been impressed with our assembly lines, which kept on revolving around the room
until all 1,000 kits had been assembled. Even the youngest family members joined
in the fun!
Everyone was then
rewarded with a delicious meal prepared by a local resident. What a great way
to start our adventures here! Tomorrow we are off to our first distribution
site and 1,000 happy smiles.
