Beautiful winter and early spring sunshine

makes beach exploration - in and out 

of the water - a good place to be:

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.

Funds raised in 2019 will be used to equip the classroom and possibly engage the services of a part-time teacher.

Thanks to all donors!

A pictorial timeline:

Construction continues ... 

Walls and roof completed ...

Happy Days!
