2012 is a year of consolidation for our existing projects.

The big new project is the purchasing of land in the town of Bandarban in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh and the building of a hostel on the land to house children from remote ethnic minority villages who wish to attend high school in Bandarban.

We will be funding 2 new projects in Kolkata, India involving a school in a poor Muslim community on the citie’s outskirts, and also a largely volunteers group which supports educational programs in backward communities of Kolkata.

Our projects are a mixture of supporting already existing projects and also initiating new projects where there is an obvious need. Examples of initiating projects include funding of the 2nd intellectually handicapped boys home in Polonurawa, Sri Lanka where there is a long waiting list of boys to get into the original handicapped boys home.

Also observing inadequate water availability and quality in the slums of Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India has prompted us to fund wells in those slum communities. On any given day of the year our funding positively impacts on up to 1,500 underprivileged people in Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh.

Everyone involved in our charity group is a volunteer and 100% of all donations are spent on our projects.
