Spent a couple of days visiting various tourist spots like Victoria Memorial Hall, the Indian Museum and Mother Teresas House, as well as catching up with Alannah at Freeset. What a fantastic ministry, providing women with employment to get them out of prostitution and able to provide for themselves and their families. So if you see a jute bag or teeshirt labelled Freeset, buy it and support a fantastic initiative helping and supporting women to help themselves!!! The Baptist Missionary Society was a great guesthouse to stay and meet people from all over the world who were doing volunteer work amongst the poor of Kolkata. And cheap too!!
