In northeast India, the Trinitarian Fathers recently opened a new school in a poor community. On the first day, 110 students were immediately enrolled. They were so excited to get their uniforms and start a brand new adventure!

Or so they thought.

Since then, monsoons, floods, and other dangers have kept the students from coming to school.

This is a poor rural village. People here are often worried about having enough to eat. Yet their main priority is to ensure their children get a quality education. They want a better life for their children, and they know school is the best way to make this happen. So you could say they’re desperate for their children to go to school.

So, even though the school house is a humble thatched hut, and there are many items the school and students will eventually need…the number one priority right now is to make sure the children can get to school in the first place.

That’s where you come in.
