I don't know about you, but I think these school uniforms are just great! When you think of their backgrounds and the work being done by Joji and the staff at Shantidhara to provide shelter, education, dignity AND a school uniform to be proud of, with very few resources, well it's just amazing. These people can make a dollar do the work of ten! These kids have a FUTURE!

The hostel is rented and what little comes in through donations goes largely to pay the rent. So a bit of land will have to be bought and a new hostel and school built! The cost will be very little by western standards but immense in terms of the resources available to Shantidhara. I am proud to be one of just a few people internationally who are aware of and trying to help this small, local, struggle against the odds in a far away place.
