8/19/98: By train along the Coromandel Coast along the Bay of Bengal… Our train was five hours late, three of which was spend sitting half a mile from Howrah Station… But we were not permitted to leave the train… Staying in a guest room at Emmanuel Ministries, a ministry that provides shelter and safety for “platform children,” kids who are either runaways or abandoned by their families… Dinner with Vijayan and Premila P., the founders of the organization…
