Five Aussies create great memories for over 700 children

It was a continuous journey fully packed with events for the school children from one place to other covering Jodhpur, Pali and Jalore. The volunteers were no less than celebreties (the students took photographs, autographs and had numerous interactions...) The program was widely covered by the media... This was the first ever time that the students had oppurtunity to hear to interact with Australians. The activities included, sport day at Pali school, singing and dancing session, drawing and painting, spoken English, HOME ALONE 1 movie. Personally it was shocking to hear that in Govt Primary School- Rajendra Nagar in Jalore district the students colored for the first time in their lives... It did create amazing memories... the Rajasthan HOPE team would like to thank Jeremy Newton, Ada Tutt, Philip Tutt, Tim lumsden and Philip Tolot who took out two weeks on their own cost to spend time volunteering with HOPE worldwide programmes in Rajasthan....Vigil Wilson, Sunil, Devender, Mamta were the local volunteers without their efforts the program would not have been successful. This was a second event by the volunteers after the American embassy School volunteers. The Schools are in great need for Computer assisted learning and spoken English training, we are in the process to get the Government funding to establish the computer labs in seven schools, however we are seeking funds for running cost. We look forward to make it a culture in HOPE worldwide Rajasthan to have this programme orgranised periodically.  (Posted by Mahaveer Jain)
