Calcutta - City of Joy
Exploring the City of Joy
Calcutta is where humanity is at its most beautiful and most raw. Visit Mother Teresa's home for the dying (Khalighat) and you will see poverty and love living as one. Visit her home for orphaned kids and you will see the beauty of the child smothered by the Sisters. This is Calcutta, a swarming sea of vulnerable humanity. Embrace that humanity at the local park, where the THIRD AND FINAL TEST will be played against some pretty ambitious locals, who just love beating an Aus
sie! But not this time!
We'll visit the ‘Mother House' of the Missionaries of Charities for a morning service, after which you share a humble breakfast with volunteers from all over the world. Then you will be allocated work at one of the many establishments run by these remarkable sisters. It is possible that this day will test you, but in doing so it is likely to leave an indelible mark on your spirit for many years. Embrace the immense learning of the day, then commemorate the final hours of the trip together with a celebratory dinner.
You may find yourself confused after this tour, but that is its magic! India will throw question after question at you, but by the time you return to Australia, your answers will have made this trip one incredible life-shifting experience!
