Some pics from the last few days in the intoxicatingly exotic post capital of the British Raj---Kolkata, in West Bengal. After a 35 hour jam-packed train ride up the eastern coast of India--through rural Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, I arrived here with colleagues from MCCSS to help reintegrate a woman who had been trafficked with her family, whom she hadn't seen for 9 years. These images capture the dizzying alleyways, spicy Bengali cuisine, vibrant markets, and crumbling edifices of British reign.
