Despite the filth, the children arrive keen - and clean!

And all with beautiful smiles! 

Thanks so much to all donors ...

Gratefully received, wisely spent.

HUGE THANKS ALSO to SANTAN and JOHN
for their day-in, day-out commitment.
And also for extending activities beyond education,
donating blankets and warm clothing
throughout the slum community.

Delhi Slum School Update ...

Construction work is complete, funded mostly by raised funds from my 2018 campaign.

Thanks to all donors!

I talked with a girl in her late-teens; attractive and with excellent spoken English. Upon enquiring as to her future plans, "stay here, in the village" she replied ...

Village idiots? Village champions ...
