Happy Valentine’s Day from Team Belgaum.
This was our second day to have 1300 bedkits to distribute. None of us had ever had that number before. The first day it took 6 1/2 hrs to finish and today it took 4 hrs, with 2 of our 4 person team not feeling 100%.
1,300 bedkits, ready to go
There were 3 factors that made the difference.
1. This distribution was outside with more space available to lay things out.
2. The children had a greater distance to exit the premises once receiving their bedkits.
3. The number of people to help get the bedkits to us and then to assist the children by carrying the bedkits to the exit point was larger.
The most important of the 3 was the number of helpers. The day before we only had 6 people at any given time to assist the children down 5 outside steps to vacate the building, then approximately 50 yards to the exit the premises. Their time to work seemed to end shortly after 12 p.m.
Today we had 18 young men to get the bedkits to us and to assist the children to the exit point immediately after receiving their bedkits . The young men remained to the end to help.
For any distribution, help is key, but even more so for larger than normal numbers.
