Kolkata: Distribution 8, Howrah Gangadharpur


Click on the pix above to see the Kolkata 2012 Photo Album. Then click on SLIDESHOW at upper left to see them all in large size.

Did you know?
  • that it is unique to the Kolkata distributions to feed each child and one parent before they change into their new clothes and have their picture taken
  • that this could be up to 2,400 meals at one location
  • that their meal consists of a hard boiled egg, sweet chutney, rice, potato and cabbage, and dahl along with water
  • that most of the surrounding area is vegetarian, thus they have the egg for protein
  • that the SCAW team eats the same meal, with the exception of the egg, as they provide us a chicken dish, and sweet tea as well as a very sweet treat
  • that the SCAW team sings the Canadian National Anthem each day (sometimes in harmony)
  • that we only have two distributions left
  • that we are sad to be leaving our new friends
Till tomorrow's blog...
