# 123 Delhi South-West

President Kumar and myself

What an amazing event the Delhi South-West Club had today, Rotay On The Spot Children's Poster Painting Competition.  This was the 6th annual painting contest with over 2000 children participating.  They use this opportunity to showcase different social causes, pride of Delhi, conservation of Resources and Social Crime.  End Polio Now was one of the catergories under Social Causes and I saw one girl drawing a picture of a woman giving a child vaccination drops. The winning posters are use in advertisments.  All the Children and Rotarians wore End Polio Now hats. 

Club Presudent Krishan Kumar and members of the club were so welcoming, with a huge sign for Nancy.  We each sat with children encouraging and inquiring about the artwork, what their inspiration was and complimented them on their work.  One 12 year old boy was an amazingily gifted artist, several of us gathered around him, he had his portfolio with him and we all looked through it in awe of this boy's talent.  We all wanted to buy his work, we know he will be famous one day!

From there we boarded the bus for the 5 hour drive to Agra, stopping once along the way for a short break.  The same stop we had last year when Chad & I had monkeys on our heads...No one was up for that in the group this year.  Dinner of rice, lentils, muttan & other stuff....

A dance show gave a glimpse of the making of the Taj Mahal and the love story of the Emperor and his beloved wife.  Arriving at the Hotel, we met up with the last team member & my room mate for the balance of the trip. PDG Pam Russell, who was participating in other Rotary events in aonther part of India up to this point.
