Upon arriving in Kolkata at 16:30, I quickly went to check on one of the children we are helping. Puja is a young girl in class 12 and finishing up her primary schooling. If she does well on her upcoming examinations, it can mean university. Puja was excited to tell me that she was awarded first distinction for class 11. That is equivalent to being on the "A" Honor Roll for high school students. So that is the good news.
The bad news is I was told that one of our children has a mental illness and cannot be cared for. I have no idea what that means, but it will be interesting to learn what has happened to the child. The child is Rupa and I don't have a good feeling about what has happened to her. She is a lovely girl and it will be very sad if she is no longer at Don Bosco. I was told her family has abandoned her so if she is not in Don Bosco, then she is somewhere in the streets. I am hoping that this will not be the case for Rupa.
