Every morning after Mass at the Mother House we'd all get together to eat bananas, white bread, and hot chai--basic, but delicious; we would socialize and then sing songs (silly, I know, but in this room I experienced and observed some of the most love I've ever felt)

Here's a typical guy coming out of the Kali temple, right next to the Home of the Sick and dying.
My friend, Paul, from Ireland. I can't say enough about this guy and the impact he had on me; his story of what brought him to India started with a path that began years ago, and through tribulation delivered him to Kolkata where I saw him both renew others spirits, as his himself was renewed as well. It is the impact of volunteerism, I think, that that it's soul-stirring to the core and will affect you in ways not understood.
