The Calthorpe Park students witnessed first-hand how their fundraising has transformed a remote preschool.

The team from 2023 built a new preschool in the remote village of Ammankulam and this year's team funded a playground which they officially opened yesterday! The students also donated tables and chairs so that the 22 children who attend this preschool no longer have to work on the floor.

The afternoon was spent at the YMCA deaf link doing activities with hearing-impaired children. The students commented on how seeing the impact of their fundraising was beyond anything they had thought possible.
The final activity was a visit to our office where the staff were able to talk to the students about all the work that goes on with running a NGO.

It was a soul satisfying day.
