RELIEF PROJECT"
Long
term educational project for tsunami orphans of Andaman &
Nicobar Islands, India
ISHWAR
embarked upon an ambitious plan of long term educational support
for orphaned children of Katchal region of the Nicobar group
of islands, where more than 5000 people perished including
school teachers, leaving the future of these children uncertain.
ISHWAR
had ‘adopted’ 15 children, for long-term educational support
who have been lodged as boarders at the Bahai Secondary
School, Tadong, Sikkim (a Govt. recognised co-educational
residential school offering good standard of education and
discipline) with ISHWAR bearing expenses for the education
and boarding / lodging of the children.
ISHWAR
provided support to these children for nearly 18 months before
handing over the project to another NGO, after exhausting
funds.
