Sealdah was pretty hectic today. Rita showed up late, so we didn't have the kids color because she said it was too late. Personally, I felt like we should let them color no matter what time we get there, but whatever... W aren't quite back up to the pre-Durga number of kids, but we gave food to 60-something kids today. Babai wasn't there, and people were extra rowdy. Adults were crowding in around us to try to get us to give them eggs. A few people stole them from us. We always feed all of the children and pregnent women before we feed any adults. Without Babai there to make them stand back, it was really hectic. People started fighting eachother to get close so they could get the extra eggs we had.
At school today the craft was making hats. We cut holes out of these huge gold paper plates and the kids decorated them. They were pretty cute.

So what happens when the food has been stolen?

Only a few eggs were stolen, and nothing happened. We just continued to hand out the rest of the food to the people in line. Is this Romaric from Perry?
