Siman and the kids love spending their afternoons hunting for crabs to cook up and eat.

Our August Active Missions Works Team has recently returned from 10 days in Kolkata.

The team worked extremely hard in the heat; painting inside our building, completing a mural for our kids, building cupboards, designing and creating a garden area, running art and craft workshops with our kids and much more.

Keep your eye on this blog for more updates from the trip. If you would like to visit a FreeToBeKids Child Rescue and Development Centre email trips@freetobekids.org to register your interest for 2011.

Our Active Missions Works Team is working extremely hard in the Kolkata heat! 3 full days and they’ve already painted out whole sections of the home, built a new garden area, started kids murals and much more. Here’s a quick look at what’s been happening.

The kids in our Kolkata Child Rescue and Development Centre love playing with play-dough.

The boys in our Kolkata Child Rescue and Development Centre love climbing the trees and picking Mangoes and Guavas. Now they are waiting for our vegetable garden to grow so they have some veggies to harvest!
