traveling in India and helping write S’s and 16’s with beautiful village children
When we arrived in Calcutta I wasn’t sure that I liked India. The people were aggressive, yelling to one another. The traffic is intense, not slowing for people or others. The smells—both good and bad are a little overwhelming. We stayed in Calcutta for 2 nights while Sara had some …
