Back to Selimpur
Yesterday we took our stack of coloring books and went to Selimpur. We had a back order of color sets to handle, because the sad faces of the kids we had to disappoint last time kept us awake over the last nights.And so we went. We took Dutch Fiona, who also resides in the Crazy Wanderers homestay, along. She was curious about the projects in the slums, and generously donated a big pile of coloring books.Shortly after arriving in the district a giant circle of expectant kids started to form around us.Thanks to Fiona and her camera you can see how natural Shu moves among the kids. Given Ed’s slouched posture, he has more difficulty to keep up with the enthusiasm of the children.Soon Ed is completely vanished from the scene and Shu is the focal point of the children. However, that gives Ed the time and space to put together some color sets. In short: a serious case of excellent teamwork.Fiona’s mother is English and when we were invited for tea, and the cups were lifted, her little finger automatically went up into the air.It was the fourth time we were invited by Nabanita and her mother. This snapshot indicates that we have become part of the family - i.e. the crazy part.
