Kolkata: A Visit to Mother's House

We had the privilege to visit Mother Teresa's house in Kolkata.

All of us were touched by the serenity of the residence close to the chaos of the street. Some time was spent in reflection at her tomb and we viewed her spartan room.

A brief visit to one of her orphanages was moving. It's miraculous that a tiny woman from Albania had such an impact on the disenfranchised of the world.

Murray Dryden's project started from a small distribution and grew until the millionth bedkit was given last year.

We feel blessed to be a part of the Drydens' vision and feel gratitude to the donors who help us carry forward the sharing of bedkits.
