To the mobile school, Hatibagan! Many, many on a tiny bus – 8 adults and 30 tiny, tiny children aged 2.5 to 5 years and a handful up to 11 years old.

How do people keep clean amidst the dirt of Kolkata? Pavements are swept each morning! Street baths at a fractured water main, roof top strip washes as the afternoon cools! Arrive at school strip off and be bathed. But … the clothes go back on! Clothing washed and hanging along the roadsides, from windows, in the alley between houses even on rooftops.
