Today is our last day in Kolkata.

Mother Teresa worked with the poorest of the poor, of which there are many in Kolkata.

Today we visited the school in Pathesesh – a village in a very remote area.

Today started like any other here; breakfast and then waiting outside the Guest House straining to catch the first glimpse of the yellow GNCEM bus.

Happy Independence Day! Yes, today is the day we celebrate the 70th anniversary of India’s break from British rule.

This is the first day we haven’t been to a GNCEM school, instead we headed to ConneXions.

Today we have experienced the difference between rich and poor Kolkata.

Travelling on the Khushi Feet funded school bus, the first place we visited was the Baby Care Centre in Daspara. A day centre for babies from 10 days old.

Standing outside the Guest House waiting for the big yellow bus to take us to our first mobile school of the trip was incredibly exciting, like it was our first day of school.

Here are some of the team members’ first impressions of Kolkata.
