Bollywood - here we come.
After a two-hour ride we arrived in Basirhat, 90 km from hotel. We travelled through many villages, too many to count, each displaying their market wares whatever they were: fresh fish (gills still breathing), colourful vegetables, fresh chickens, etc. We arrived at our destination to a school site lined with parents and children who cheered our arrival.

Our OVO picked a beautiful site for today's bedkit distribution. The changing tents were spacious and colourful. The elder students from the school volunteered to assist us for the day and were of great help. They showed great consideration and caring for the children.
They and the children practiced their English skills with us and at the end of the day treated us like rock stars: swarming us, taking our photos, and asking for our autographs!

We're not all that special but, truth be known, not too many foreigners travel this way -- so that's why we all felt extra special today.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's report ...
