Last Day in Kolkata

The Piyali Girls welcome us!

Long dusty road to Piyali School for Girl Child, met some lovely girls and teachers.We then went to a rehab hospital for people who have lost limbs or are using prosthetics and/or calipers. Some polio patients. Then we went to the Mother Home. I got a few Mother Teresa medals.
That night we went to the Polio Committee forum put on by a few of the Rotary clubs of Kolkata. We were all pretty tired from a long day, and I thought it was pretty boring, but one of the panelist must have been more bored, because he was falling asleep on the STAGE. Magic.
Then Sarah and I popped down to the bar near our hotel for 2 drinks. Sometimes one needs to get out of the group! Again we find that Indian people are really kind.
