The girls of Lula Bari

Posted on by shuktara

These polaroids seem to capture the individual spirit of each of the girls and young women who live at Lula Bari.

Thank You Caroline De Penning for spending so much of your time at Lula Bari and for taking these wonderful photos for the girls to treasure.

Caroline comes regularly to our girls home to do fun activities which have included hair and make-up and often other beauty parlour things.

We also appreciate the involvement of Kolkata International Womens Club and their support of our girls. This year they are paying school fees for all of the girls who attend REACH.

Puja’s progress

Posted on by shuktara

Visitors and friends have expressed a very loving interest in how Puja is progressing.

She is now enrolled at REACH school in their Autistic Unit, which she is loving. She has found her own place there in the classroom where she feels safe (as she does at home) away from the noise of people around her and where the teachers can easily interact with her.

She laughs now and when she does it feels like outbursts of joy.
She has the care and attention of the staff at Lula Bari as well.

Puja is definitely at home and safe.
