COUNTDOWN TO OUR DEPARTURE

Our Diary

Join us on our journey as we visit Udayan and other NGOs in Kolkata which the Dominique Lapierre and City of Joy Aid, UK have supported.

Goodbyes

Today was the day we all knew would come but didn't want it to - our last at Udayan.

Gala Night

What a day! We turned our attention to preparing for the trip's gala evening to celebrate our trip

School Run

The days starts early at Udayan. Some of the team were up early to join the girls and then the boys with their prayers and then help them with their morning chores. It’s at times like these when you realise that Udayan isn’t just a centre for children to attend – it’s a real home where everyone has a role to play.

Service

Mother House & Return to Udayan

The day kicked off super-early with a 5:15am departure to head to the Mother House of the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata.

The City of Joy

Today we ventured into the City of Joy led by our fantastic guide, Deba, who provided us with an insight into the history of Kolkata as well as taking us to some of the tourist spots on offer.
