Kolkata: Sarkarpool, near Brace Bridge Station
India is truly a land of contrasts. This is
reflected in our distributions. We strive to find good backdrops. Since it is
the dry season, the leaves, the flowers and the grounds are all dusty drab
brown. Contrast this with the beautiful
colourful girls’ dresses and boys’ shirts. We visited a recipient’s home. Again
dark drab floors contrasted with the colourful ground mat and mattress. The
sweet dark faces of the children are contrasted with their beautiful eyes and
winning smiles. How fortunate we are to have had the opportunity to experience
these contrasts. How thrilled we are to know that 364 more children will have a
comfortable sleep tonight and enjoy the thrill of new colourful clothing and
school books tomorrow.
