Colorful mess
Recently we were pleasantly surprised with a generous donation from Ed's mother Wilma in favor of the kids of Kolkata; whether we could organize something fun for them. Very excited we went to all the stationary stores in our area, and we willed two bags to the brim with crayons and color books. With some of the Crazy Wanderers we took off to the slum in the Selimpur area.
After some measuring and deliberation the kids got a seat in the tiny community center. Of course, the distribution of drawing tools was a complete mess, and despite our very large purchases (about 60 sets), unfortunately we had too little to treat everybody.
However, we could make a lot of kids happy. Those who missed out, their names were recorded, and next Tuesday we will deliver 40 extra sets to the kids.
Every dusty nook and cranny of the clubhouse was used for the very noble fine art of coloring.
A favorite of many was the fine coloring book in which the artist has to color an image - in this name, a green headed duck - similarly as shown in the .
Here and there a color artist took some artistic freedom. This guy for example, he invented a blue-white zebra.
In the end everyone proudly showed us their artwork. We were impressed with what we were offered; from Ferrari-red beasts, to violet-colored peacocks.
We end with this little mouse. She did some serious coloring and sat concentrated over her coloring book the whole afternoon and left the building as the last. On behalf of this sweet and grateful little treasure we say: 'Thanks a million (Wil)Ma'.
