The poorest of the poor

The school

The school

We have been entertained nearly every day by some beautiful and amazing people here from family to people that I’ve just met. They have cooked me amazing meals and been so hospitable. So I decided to now give some back.

This is awesome GET THIS!!!!!

All morning we went around different markets to find hundreds of resources for a little school out in the village. This school was run by the village community volunteer and to date has not received any financial assistance at all from the Indian Government. It is a Primary School and the facilities…. well they have non. It is in the middle of a paddock with a little raised section where they have a run down torn structure with a partially opened roof, no sides and dirt floor. This is the classroom of over 100 students from around the village from 3yo to 9yo.

We arrived at 1pm just as the school was finishing for the day. What a buzz it is to give (Be A GENEROUS Giver). Our gifts included: 100+ chalk boards, 100+ books & pens, 100+ toothbrushes, lollypops, cricket bats and balls and a soccer ball. The head teacher and visionary for the school was overwhelmed. He could not thank us enough through the little English he knew. I was amazing to hear the vision he had, from developing the land to planting a shelter and building all around the paddock as he showed me. It was such a breath of FRESH AIR when you see a man that was so committed to his community that currently volunteered his time to assist the next generation of people. It was so exciting for me to hear his vision and passion that he had for these young poor students and his commitment to building facilities to create change even though he had no resources what so ever!!!!!! WOW

This man then went on to tell us about the land that the school is on and how he might lose it due to an unjust system and people wanting to take the land off him. I did not quite understand the whole story but I am determined to find out why and see how I can help. I got his details as he did mine and I really trusted him and believed in his vision! So I gave him a large amount of money to assist him with his land and said that I would like to remain in constant contact with him and hear good stories about the children. ..

I’ve attached some photo’s of the school and some students with their parents as they came to pick up their students. I feel so blessed to have blessed them.

These photo’s speak for themselves….
