Dear Marc,
Greetings to you from sunbaked and almost half cooked Baruipur!!! It's so very uncomfortably hot here!!!!
How are you doing and hope everything is ok your end.
Marc, I left for Belegachi at 7.15am on 13th April to beat the unbearable heat and arrived at the distribution venue at around 8.30am. The 16 senior citizens selected, had already arrived and were patiently waiting for me while the mothers with their small kids were having a tough time managing them as they ran here and there squealing and shouting while some were in their mother's arms while others clutched their sarees and tugged behind.
As soon as they saw me alight from the auto, the chatter stopped for a few seconds but again restarted with continued vigour.
After our brief exchange of greetings, I decided to immediately handover the packets of grocery to the waiting senior beneficiaries, as standing outdoors was posing great hardship due to the immense heat.
The young mothers who had been selected from very needy households were handed a plastic packet in which a saree was packed on account of Bengali New Year, while 16 small kids accompanying them, were handed a packet of biscuit and a cake each.
Expenses Incurred:-
1. 16 Grocery Packets for 16 Senior Citizens @ ₹398 per pkt - ₹6, 368 - $77.56 USD
2. 14 Mothers were given a cotton saree each @ ₹230 per saree -
₹3, 220 - $39.22 USD
3. 16 kids @ ₹ 25for 1 pkt biscuit & 1 pkt cake- ₹400 - 4.87
4. Transport & Freight - ₹800 - $9.74 USD
Total - ₹ 10, 788 - $131.39 USD
In case of any clarification or doubt, please let me know.
Thanks and warm regards,
Uttara
