Indian Food Helps 2016

The Indian Food for Indian schools project was more successful than ever in 2016.
A record 547 Indian lunches were delivered to hungry customers over 9 days during October. Thanks to additional donations from Rotarians we were able to send 250,000 Indian Rupees [94,000 Kč] to support one large primary school and an anganwadi in Rajsamand. 

175 Children were helped and the school was provided with some computer equipment, classroom furniture and kitchen equipment as well as sports & music supplies.

11 More able children with good academic results from poorer families who were also given financial scholarships.

We also visited schools that were helped in 2013 and 2014 and were pleased to notice that progress had been maintained.
