We traveled several hours to the rural Sundarbans. Then we traveled a couple more miles into the villages by way of a three wheeled motorcycle cart to help families with sanitation needs. These toilets and handwashing stations will help them reduce water born diseases.
The highlight of my Calcutta visit (so far) has been a personal audience with 2015 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Kailash Satyarthi (for his life's work in freeing up enslaved bonded child laborers worldwide). He remembered the visit to our humble home for dinner in 2001 after being awarded the Raoul Wallenberg Medal at University of Michigan.
