NEWS FROM ALISHA IN INDIA

Here are some photos of what Alisha has spent the fundraising
money on which we raised last term with the casual clothes/hat
day.
30th - Save The Children kinder
transition visit
A few of the volunteers pooled resources to put towards installing
showers in the orphanage for the girls (rather than just running
water from the taps). Shown are the before and after photos! They
no longer have to squat for a shower!
Alisha has also purchased some activities and equipment for the
students/girls whilst she's volunteered both at the school and in the
orphanage. The girls have few toys in the orphanage so she said it
was like Christmas when they saw all the activities etc. They were
so happy, appreciative and squealed with excitement as they
opened and played with the resources etc.
