Missionaries

Most of us went to see the Mother Teresa house in Kolkata.

It's amazing to see all the work she did. Very moving.

Jo and I then went to see one of her projects....Nirmala Kalighat... a home for the dying and desolute.

We took public transportation. A local bus that had men sitting on one side and female on the other.

We found this out when we were told to get up and go sit on the female side.

I asked one of the young local women on the bus why it was like this in Kolkata.

Her reply was......'This is India'.
