Today we traveled to Barrackpore a suburb of Kolkata 25km away. As always, the traffic was unbelievable but we have a great driver so we feel safe.
The
distribution today was set up on the grounds of the “Gandhi Ashram” on the Eastern
banks of the Ganges River. Gandhi was a
frequent visitor here and it now houses a museum
The
children lined up under wonderful sunshine and pleasant temperatures, they
created a rainbow of colors in their new clothes. Their faces are so beautiful,
a few tears from the tiny ones as they are a little scared but mostly big smiles
and sparkly eyes. They are so patient and well behaved.
We gave out
575 bed kits today in about 3 hours. It is very well organized by the helpful
Rotary club members.
