We
distributed 500 bedkits in Karwar today, meeting our total of 8,000. The
site used was a community centre and as on previous days, many of the children
travelled up to 25 km to reach the site. The children were excited
with our arrival and more so when they received the items in the bedkit. Our
team enjoyed the interaction with the children and seeing the smile on
their faces was worth the trip.
Following
the distribution, we travelled 4.5 hours back to Belgaum. Part of the drive was
though the National Forest, where we saw a number of monkeys. That evening
we attended a meeting with the Belgaum Rotarians to review each distribution to
see if improvements can be made. We all concluded that the distribution was a
success, bringing joy to 8,000 children.
