After a two-hour drive from Bangalore, the Rotaplast volunteer team arrived at Adichunchanagiri University (ACU) in Nagamangala. We were greeted by Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Bangalore North, settled into our dorm rooms and then attended a welcome reception in the auditorium to celebrate 10 completed Rotaplast missions to Nagamangala.
