    Story

    Please help us by donating £10 / £15 To help us repair 2 computers at this incredible hill station school.

    This is the last stop on our 6 month tour is India. We have been volunteering in a school in Kanda in the lower Himalayas. Before we arrived at the school we asked if there was anything they needed as we knew from the volunteering profile that many people in the village were very poor. They were extremely humble and said bring only what we could afford in the way of paper, pens and maybe sports equipment.

    Theses items were greatly appreciated when we arrived. The children were extremely excited about the badminton,volleyball and cricket sets.

    It was on our second day during a computer class, held in a brick room with no computers to be seen. That one girl explained to me that they now had to learn from books as two of their 5 computers were longer working.

    Later that day the principle explained they just didn't have funds to repair the computers. It is heart breaking that in a country so advanced in technology, that so many can't afford this privilege.

    With your help we would like to have the computers repaired and any extra funds placed in an account for maintenance.

    Ryiko has made many friends at the school and we will continue to be in contact with the school after we leave. If we can repair the computers we are hoping to set up a email pen pal system so the pupils can make contact with other school children. This will allow them to practise there English in a less formal but equally important way, making friends in the process.

    Please give what you can our small change MAKES such a BIG DIFFERENCE in India

    If each of our friends could donate £10/15 together we could all
    HELP THE CHILDREN OF KANDA.
