Get School Started Campaign - British High Commissioner launches new campaign

August 2008

Sir Richard Stagg, the British High Commissioner to India came especially to Pondicherry to inaugurate the new plot of land that the Wings of Hope is going to use for a brand new school. Thanks to the efforts from donors, grant making organisations, and Wings of Hope Achievement Award participants, the charity has been able to secure the land to build its own Wings of Hope school.

The school hopes to initially be a primary school, with 150 pupils, with expansion expected year-on-year. The charity is still committed to all of its other Wings of Hope projects, but feels that with its own school in Pondicherry – where educational needs are incredibly high – even more can be achieved to help in the plight of education for children.

The Get School Started Campaign, launched by Sir Richard is to help get this new school up and running as quickly as possible. The Campaign target is £500,000, and so every little will help. Find out how you can buy a brick for just £20, and directly help start up this school.
