Paul, Pharmacist, UK

 "I was nervous but happy to arrive in Kolkata. Having been in India before, I knew the best way was to throw myself into the unknown and take the rough with smooth. The smooth began straight away with two smiling volunteers meeting me at 1am at the airport in the Calcutta Rescue jeep...now that's dedication! The affordably priced hotel was very basic and clean. Simplicity felt right in such a place as Kolkata. Day dawned and new work beckoned ...and it was all a supercharged adventure.

Marielle, Disabilities Nurse, The Netherlands

“When I arrived in Calcutta, I really didn’t know what to expect. For me it was my first experience working as a nurse in a foreign country. But working in developing countries, was always something that was in my mind.

I always had that vision that the world is unfairly distributed, and that we should try to share as much as we possibly can. That’s why I am sharing the knowledge I have gained in the field of nursing with others.

“My task at Calcutta Rescue is to modify and improve some financial reports. I’m also helping with different office work.
