About the
Tsunami
The
recent tsunami in South India and the Andaman
& Nicobar Islands left a trail of devastation,
with young children being the most affected.
Andaman
& Nicobar Islands took the brunt of the disaster
and till date, several islands are still submerged
in the sea. Most of the infrastructure has been
washed away, including schools, PHCs, homes.
This
proposal gives you an insight into efforts put
in by ISHWAR, to make a little difference in the
lives of orphaned children affected by this catastrophe.
Tsunami Relief
Project
ISHWAR has embarked
upon an ambitious plan of long term educational
support for the 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 has ‘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. This offers
the possibility of the siblings to remain together
and not be separated, having lost their parents
already.
