In October, 12 Year 13 students,
along with staff members Mrs Al-
exander and Mr Burnett, will em-

bark upon what will likely be a
memorable and humbling experi-
ence as they travel to India to pro-
vide support to residents of the
Slums in Delhi, India.

Students and Staff have been
fund-raising this year for asha. The
charity helps to tackle all the is-
sues that can keep slum dwellers
trapped in poverty. The money
raised will help slum residents
gain access to healthcare, finan-
cial services and education,
and make it possible for them to
make long-term, positive changes
to their lives.

Mrs Alexander, Mr Burnett and
the students involved, prepared
an afternoon-tea themed lunch
for the staff of Dunclug College on
Tuesday 29th May. The event was
well received and over £600 was
raised for the asha charity. Every
penny that the team raises goes
towards such a worthy cause!

The team of students and staff
will be reporting back to the
school and parents via Twitter
from India and will also capture
the experience on camera and
film; stay tuned for an unforgetta-
ble experience!
