Happy Durga Puja!

Happy Durga Puja!

As the Bekind Boys continue their lockdown in Kolkata, they have still managed to celebrate Durga Puja, a Hindu festival which honours the Hindu goddess Durga. This year, the boys asked goddess Durga to help in the fight against COVID and created some beautiful art to represent this. Well done boys!

The saying “ absence makes the heart grow fonder ” has been uppermost in my mind over the past months. My regular Zoom or WhatsApp calls with the children in Kolkata are a help but almost two years have passed since being with them in person. I am amused by the deeper voices of some of the children as they enter their teenage years. The voices and the bodies change and a request for six new bunk beds was a reminder of how much the boys are growing. A very generous donation from a local person came just at the right time to cover the costs.
