Rainey Endowed Students Visit New Delhi Slums

The school forged links with a Delhi-based charity, Asha, five years ago following its fund-raising venture to support educational projects in the developing world. Asha, an organisation which works with the slum-dwellers of Delhi, was selected because it gave the school an opportunity to fund a children’s Resource Centre in Kusumpur. Teams are sent out every two years and this is Rainey’s third visit to India. The students from Rainey Endowed School will spend their time painting the Centre, giving English and craft lessons to slum children and engaging in student workshops with other young people from the slum who are now studying at universities in Delhi.




The Asha Team:
Mr John Healy, Mrs Pearl Donnelly, Miss Deborah McIlwrath, Jonathan Booth, Luke Donaghy, Rebecca Finlay, Samuel Hawe, Lauren McGlone, Carol McQuillan, Joanna Montgomery, Rebecca Morrow, Megan Mulholland, Mark Riddell, Anna Rowan & Zara Rowe.
