The Nandri Foundation is committed to the education and development of our children. All our activities are carefully designed to protect and promote the best interests of the child. An important part of that is insuring that our young people learn how to play together and have fun! In the Nandri Centre, we have set up a playground for the children with lots of equipment that they can enjoy after they spend time in educational classes. Towards the end of their day, the children are so excited to go outside and the sound of their laughter fills the air! It gives them a chance to forget their difficult empoverished lives and just be children having fun with their friends. After a recent training programme for local children, you could feel the excitement in the air as the day came to an end and they could finally run to the playground! In the words of Jerald, our Chief Operating Officer “The children forget everything and they are in their own world. The campus is filled with laughter, joy and happiness”. When the evening came to a close, the children were sad to tear themselves away from the playground and leave - but the Nandri centre will always be a place that our young people will remember with love, a place of positivity, education and fun and they will long to return time and time again.

Well done to Caoilfhionn Crowe and her friends who held a fundraiser with an Indian theme for the night. Caoilfhionn had brought back from India a dozen saris, one for each of her friends.They raised enough money to provide a family income generation loan to 5 families. The families will be presented with a cheque by Caoilfhionn in India on Sunday, 25 January.They will probably use the money to buy a cow which will provide the family with nutrition and milk and enough money to repay the loan over 20 months. At that point a second family will benefit from the money which was raised.Well done to all concerned
