Calcutta is a joyous city of 14 million. The Howrah Bridge connects its people across a wide and mighty river.
For Mahesh studying in an inner city school in this great city the bridge is what you would see in a picture book.
Using just a postcard and a box of crayons we are connecting Mahesh, Raj and hundreds of other children across India - two at a time
Every postcard is a message of identity, hope and friendship from one child to another in a different city … Each exchange helping them share perspective and learn from each other in a powerful new way … Every exchange expertly designed to encourage thinking & expression and support classroom learning on important issues about the world around them …
