Rotary spreads warmth

Reaching out to underprivileged people who need protection against harsh winters, RC Nagpur Vision, RI District 3030, distributed over 1,300 new blankets to the homeless and those staying in makeshift dwellings under their winter project — Rotary spreads warmth.

The Rotarians involved the night patrol team of Sadar Police Station in the city to distribute the ­blankets to 200 households. “This opened up our eyes to the humane side of the Nagpur Police about which the ­genera public is often ignorant,” said Rajiv Behal, Club President. The club honoured the police station with its prestigious Nagpur Icons Award.

In another noteworthy project Soul to Sole, the Rotarians collect footwear through ­schoolchildren and distribute it to many poor families during the summer months.
