EDUCATION AFFECTED BY CLIMATE CHANGE NORTH EAST INDIA

$50.00 No GST

The RNDM Sisters run a diocesan school at Silchar in India North East. There are 450 students from nursery to class VI. They come from remote villages and poverty-stricken families. The weather in summer is hot and humid while the rainy season comes with floods and landslides, causing great difficulties for the children to attend school. Since many students come from far- flung villages, some stay residential homes, which lack basic facilities like desks and chairs, shelves etc. Since power failures happen frequently, the students are often left in the dark so require solar lamps. As they come from low economic backgrounds, the parents are unable to support them financially.

We would be grateful for your generous contribution to meet the needs of these children and to provide adequate study facilities.

You will receive a Christmas Card which you can personalise for your loved one. All gifts and donations are tax deductible.
