Today is our last day in Kolkata. I am a little bit sad to be honest. Saying goodbye to the volunteers we've met and the women we've gotten to love on... it isn't very fun. There are a lot of things we didn't do or see here...but that just gives us an excuse to come back someday when we only remember the good things about the city:) Hopefully that will come sooner rather than later.
We have been buying our own fruit and bread to eat lunch and we had some left over today so instead of throwing it out, all we had to do was walk out the front gates to the begger who sits there and offer the loaf of bread which she accepted with many shakes of my hand, a hug farewell, and gibberish (to my ears) in Bengali. It's the little things in life for these people:) And they teach us that it really is the little things that mean the most.

You ladies are so full of life and love-bring that back to the states and you'll be wonderful nurses! It is hard to say goodbye, but that means that you had a great time and have made some lasting bonds with the people there! Keep up the good work.
Luv us Hektoens
