Street Schools for Homeless Children, India
Donation protected
I have now been in India for a little over 2 months, and the focus of my efforts has changed a little.
There is a huge problem in Kullu and Bhuntar with homeless children who are not going to school, at all. As such, they are completely trapped in a spiral of deprivation, as they cannot acquire skills to help them get work, and therefore they cannot earn money to "move on".
Alongside the voluntary teaching in schools that i have been doing, i have now set up 2 "Street Schools". These are basic, very basic indeed. So far, this consists of evening "classes" for a little over 150 children per week.
I need money for 3 things. Firstly, i want to expand the scope of these two provisions to cover 4 additional slum areas locally. Secondly, i would like to provide a very basic hot meal to children. And thirdly, i want to continue to provide the very basics of eduction to the children. This would include exercise books, pencils, pencil cases, and some simple reading books.
Please help. Even if you have helped before, please see it in your heart to help again. I cannot begin to describe either the level of need that exists, or the tangible difference that this work is already making. Seeing children smile that otherwise have nothing to smile about in life should make YOU, you generous people, feel that you are part of what i want to achieve.
The lives that some children live is beyond comprehension. Together, we can create a provision that could change that for years to come around here.
I will continue to throw all my effort, available cash, and the preverbial "kitchen sink" at this.
Please, be part of it. All my love xx
