All the pictures from Calcutta Rescue are online (and a movie too)

The projects displayed here are just a part of the activities. I visited clinics (Chitpur (lepra), Tala Park and Sealdah (general medicine) as well as schools (Tala Park, Number 10). Other projects include tuberculosis patients, HIV patients, an outreach program bringing health education and health care to isolated villages outside of Kolkata, filters against poisoned water, workshops to give work to ex-patients and to produce handicrafts sold in Europe, etc...

It was simply wonderful to visit all these projects, and it gave me a lot of new ideas to help the poorest in Kolkata. The difficult conditions due to the monsoon only made the visits more vibrant. Getting back to life in Europe was not easy, even after such a short stay...
