The aim of our project was to build a toilet block for
the girls of Holy Family Higher Secondary School, Alleppey,
Kerala. We did this with the support of our school,
Abbey Grange C E High School Humanities College who
raised the money for the materials for the toilet block
through their Global Justice Group's 'Spend a Penny'
Campaign
During our stay in India, while at the project site
and during our free time we were looked after really
well. A member of staff stayed in the house with us
where we were staying & arranged for us to be taken
to and from the project site safely. Then during our
time at the site a member of staff was always around
in case of any problems or emergencies
Our
meals were all cooked for us at our house so we knew
the food wasn’t dodgy and we had a constant supply of
clean water. Ambadas, who was taking care of us, also
made sure we didn’t get into trouble during our free
time, for example, if we got invited to someone’s house
for tea but they lived in an unsafe area he made sure
we knew about it and were safe. Ambadas also came with
us shopping so that we didn’t get over-charged etc.
The
people at the project site were very welcoming; as we
were working in a school next to a convent the sisters
made lunch for us everyday and made sure we were getting
enough rest. They even offered to set up a bed for us
when one of us felt ill. The teachers in the school
were very kind and took us shopping and invited us for
lunch. They made sure we had a free classroom to hide
in when the children got too over excited!
