The proceeds of the 8th festival in 2007 were
€ 5095,10
The money was officially handed
over to the
Foundation
Pastoor Vekemans Fonds on 1 December 2007 and
again donated to the
English
Medium
School
in Dharamjaigarh,
district
Chhattisgarh, a poor region in
India.
Now that more and more people understand the importance of learning English in
order to provide a better future of their children, the school is rapidly
growing. With the money we could help the people in Dharamjaigarh to buy school supplies and
furniture, so that the students and teachers do no longer have to sit on the
floor. Furthermore, we helped them to install solar panels, which provide the
electricity for light, ventilators etc.
Below you
will find
some photo's of the school and a
"thank you" letter of Sister Philomenia
from India.
