March 2008

The purpose of this AidCamp was to provide a primary school for the village of Manahara in the Chitwan valley, where children were previously walking 40 minutes each way every day to go to school.  Cultural visits included holy sites in Kathmandu, the Hindu pilgrimage site of Devghat, and the Chitwan National Park.

January & February 2008

These two AidCamps financed a new building for the school, to provide training and treatment facilities to help disabled children and their families develop the means of living independently within their own villages.  Cultural visits included the temple at Madurai, the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, and the salt pans at Tuticorin.

November 2007

The purpose of this project was to provide a proper primary school for the rural village on Tsenka to replace a dangerously dilapidated building that was in too poor a condition to be renovated.  Cultural visits included the Royal Palace at Foumban and the market at Foumbot, the largest in west Africa.

July & August 2007

These AidCamps provided a resource centre for the children of the rural community of Uda Walawe, providing them with educational and social facilities. Cultural visits included the Hindu and Buddhist temple at Kataragama, the ancient city of Tissamaharama, and the Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary.
