Explanation of the Program

Each student will have a brother/sister in India.
The pen pal is presented with a card giving the child’s name and a brief summary about the child.
A mailbox is set up in the classroom and the children can write letters, drawings, or whatever they would like that the volunteers who travel to India in February can take for the corresponding children. Then the children in India can answer their pen pal (the same mailbox will be installed in Kobardanga).
There will be a digital meeting using Skype in March with the children of India, as they will have access during the Medical volunteers’ stay.
In June, we will end the year with a new digital meeting to discuss Xavier Raj traveling to Spain in alternate years.
We will propose family activities such as a solidarity party, flea market, etc.
