So glad to finally read a report! I am with you in spirit, as two years ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Kolkata, and meeting wonderful people. Enjoy every minute! Hello to Tappan, and all the Rotarians. K.Watt

Lovely to hear from Kolkata. Please send my greetings to the Rotarians of Dum Dum. I was there 2 years ago, and have many good memories of the welcome we were given. I will always remember the children, often so solemn, but ready to laugh when we did crazy things. Best wishes to Tappan and his family.

Warren - I have experienced the chaos of traffic in India but you described it better than anyone else. Just reading your message "put me there".

I am contnuing to enjoy the daily blogs from Kolkata. The children, as always, are amazing. I hope Jill and Peter get rid of the Kolkata cough. It attacked me 2 years ago, and was extremely annoying! Best wishes to the Team, the Rotary members and the Rotary Annes!
