Hands on India

Sean and I will be travelling at the end of this year through to China, Tibet, Nepal, and India. For the last two weeks of our trip we have volunteered to work with a  charity called Hands on India. Hands On India is a not-for-profit, secular charity organisation that was born out of the dream to help children achieve their optimal potential through education, health care and empowering the community.
