Update from Kolkata

Posted by admin | Filed Under General

Discover Worlds Kolkata has recently updated us on their activities, and it is amazing what they are doing in their community. Maddy writes,

There’s this place called Hazra where 8 families live on the streets: literally having just a shack to sleep in at night… the area is just 10 minutes from our school and my house. We used to walk past them every time, treating them as part of the street… then we realized how much we needed them… there are 7-8 kids over there but the most amazing part is that their mothers are interested in learning the alphabets as well! We are now taking care about their education and hygiene… [we have] discovered our extended family!

Ria will be writing a more detailed article, so stay tuned for that. Meanwhile, here are some photographs of the Hazra folk.
