The India Project in Kodaikanal
Donation protected
Hi, we are Gus and Quentin and we are travelling to India with our school in April to work on The India Project.
This project started when teachers did a teacher exchange to Kodaikanal in Tamil Nadu, in the year 2000. They recognised the opportunity to educate students at our school whilst also empowering the children of Kodaikanal and since then, a group of year 10 students have visited the area once a year to work in the community.
We will be in India for 16 days. The project work we will do includes:-
- help in three creches managed by the project, leading games and lessons
- construction of new creche facilites
- purchasing and distributing creche uniforms, bags and shoes
- planting vegetable gardens and trees
- installing cookstoves in houses and schools that are smokeless to stop smoke inhalation
It's going to be really hard work but we are so excited. More information about the projects can be found at:-
WE NEED FUNDS!
We need funds to pay for construction materials to improve three creches the project manages. To buy uniforms, bags, and school supplies. To buy trees, seeds and new cook stoves. To help in any way we can.
SKYDIVE GUS & QUENTIN
Together we have booked two tandem skydives over Interlaken on 19 March. We are utterly terrified having never done anything like this before. And it might be a bit cold. Please please please sponsor us to do this jump. Every single cent of funds received will go to The India Project.
