Greetings from Heal Village!

Here we come with some more news from Heal!

The weather has changed from scorching heat to pleasant coolness, specially in the evenings. We had lots of rains this year. The trees in Chethana are washed clean of all the dust and look green!

The children have a busy time in the school with regular classes and also special classes after school hours. When they finish their midterm tests this month, they will get their midterm holidays.

Heal UK started a new project under Poverty Trap. The project provides ‘Mid Day Meals’ for 200 children who cannot afford to have a meal before coming to school because they come from very poor families. Under this scheme the children also receive clothes, uniforms, and books.

The two photos to the left show Dr. Manga Devi, serving food and handing over uniforms to the children. To the right you can see the children having their mid day meal.

Volunteers from Oundle School UK, Tristan, Sam, Flora and Emily stayed in Heal from 24th August to 19th Sept this year.

The children had a happy time interacting with the volunteers, playing cricket and volley ball with them or learning some English songs. They also had fun teaching them our language, Telugu!

Good bye ! will meet you again !
