I arrived in calcutta last Tuesday. All is well, we are just staying in a small village... so I don't really have access to anything. We are working with street kids at the moment. Helping a ministry that just started. They have a home where about 40 street kids come on a daily basis. They brush there teeth, take a shower, are able to change into clean clothes, and exchange for there old ones to get washed. They sit to worship, we even get to cook for them rice and other veggies. they then have a bit of schooling, like spelling there names, and small phases. In both English, and there local languge.

Kalkota, (they recently changed there name of the city) It's beautiful! absoltetly amazing! We went out for a city tour, to learn about the city. We have even been able to visit the Mother Theresa Home, and we will be working with them this week. we have a lot going on! Days are so full! It's been great! I head back out of Calcutta on the 21 and head back to Chennai, for a day.. and then I am off to Thailand! I can't wait!
