Kolkata 2016 Blog

Today is our last day in Kolkata.

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

Kolkata has a very special place in my heart. Being back here – in the City of Joy – has been bringing back so many memories.

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.

We’re halfway through the trip and what an incredible time we’re having!

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.
