Today we travelled to the distribution site in Joida. Our journey
took us through a national park which is also one of the Tiger reserve areas in
India. We didn’t see any tigers but much to our delight we saw a family of
monkeys just hanging around at the edge of the forest.
We arrived at the distribution site to the
cheers of excited children and family members dressed in colourful saris. Some
families travelled as far away as 50 km to the distribution site. 800 bedkits
were distributed, which brings us to the half-way mark of 4,000 bedkits distributed
to date by our team. The children and their parents were happy to see us and
grateful for the items in their bedkits.
