welcome to three hours south of Kolkatta to one of the many port cities near the Bay of Bengal. Drishti's partner organization, Child In Need Institute has a lively office here in Diamond Harbour (because this place is famous for its brand of girl child trafficking) and we have developed a Community Video Unit here that is only 6 months old. Kavita and I have come here for some advanced training and my exposure visit.
After a 42 hour train ride from the very west to the very east of India we made it to Kolkatta. After 2 days of slight sickness mixed with minimal sight seeing we made a move to this wonderful place. Our hotel is right on the water, but you cant sit near it for more than 10 minutes without being blown away. Think of a dog with his face out the window as the car is moving at 100 miles per hour...that was me last night...desperate to "do something" instead of just watching tv.
I will write more when my mind isnt melting from the 125 degrees and 70% humidity (although the people reading over my shoulder at this moment claim it is far hotter and far more humid than that), but for now just enjoy these snaps:
