Pune: Almost Ready!

Today was a free day until the evening Rotary predistribution meeting, so the team did some sight seeing. Travelling by scmotorized rickshaw can sure be an adventure as some of the pictures will attest. We also had time to visit the Aga Khan Palace, an historical site where Mahatma Ghandi was placed under house arrest in 1943. He was released after 21 months during which time both his wife and his personal secretary passed away. The property was designated a historical site in 1969.




In the evening at the Rotary meeting we got to meet several teams from the different distribution locations, which definitely make things easier “the day of “. Chris made a great presentation on the background of Scaw and Michael highlighted some of the aspects Canada and Canadian life in the short videos. They did a great job and responded to numerous questions after. However, I think one of the most poignant moments came from one of the Rotarions, when he said hopefully distributing bedkits will not need to go on forever, as the need will longer be there. Looking forward to our first distribution tomorrow!
