SHAWL DISTRIBUTION TO MARK WORLD YOUTH DAY
Friday, January 15, 2010
On 15th, January, 2010, Rotaract club of Behala distributed shawls to the farmers of Nalgora to mark “World Youth Day” from 11:00am onwards.
We assembled at Ballygunge Station at around 7:30am to catch a train to Mathurapur. Reached Mathurapur in time and took an auto to Joynal, then by cycle van 5 minutes to our final destination Nalgora. A representative of the RCC was there at the station to attend us. The cycle van was driven by them. We were welcomed with warm hands to RCC NALGORA. We were served with tea and snacks.
The farmers were already waiting for us to distribute the shawls. Rtr George gave a small speech on why we are here and the significance and vision of Rotaract Club of Behala towards such an act by our club on a preferred day with a niche. The whole body of the RCC was present and gave a small introduction because we were not visitors but a family. It was 11:30am and we started the distribution. The co-coordinator softly called out the names from her list. We one by one gave the shawls to them. The shawl receivers were mainly farmers which included male to female to handicapped persons.
15th January was a special day for the Hindu pilgrims for bathing in the Ganges, so few were unable to receive the shawls. But we handed over the extra shawls to the secretary of the RCC. In total we distributed 20 shawls. Finally the program was over and we spoke to the in charge persons on how can we help them better; we discussed few more plans and programs for the future. This visit to Nalgora will be counted among the many visits to this place earlier. We left by 3:00pm and reached Kolkata by 5:00pm.
All the persons present thanked us and wished us so that we can carry our good work for our society under the proud banner of “ROTARACT CLUB OF BEHALA”.
