Cycle to Kolkata week 2 Day 1

Well today I did a 6.1 Mile cycle ride in 40:00 you can see it on Mapometer.com -http://gb.mapometer.com/cycling/route_3811298.html I was going to share a photo of some of the route but Khushi Feet shared the following this morning

 Story from Khushi Feets facebook page

We are so pleased to be able to share this story with you (NOTE: it will make you feel 'khushi').

This is a picture of Nasreen, a teacher at the GNCEM Mobile school in Hatibagan (Kolkata). When Nasreen was a little girl, GNCEM took her to the Hatibagan school from a slum in Kolkata. She then progressed on to some of GNCEM's other schools and hostels (including the Daspara school which Khushi Feet has helped expand). Now, she is a teacher at the Hatibagan Mobile school!


You can sponsor me and help other children like Nasreen here:
