Three Waves of Volunteers Come to SXS

In July, the first wave of volunteers came to SXS led by David and Alice from Switzerland. They stayed for several weeks and made a video about the school. They also set up a donation site and raised $2500 in seven days from 27 people! The money was used to build a fence for the school grounds and stairs and to buy notebooks and clothes.

Ryan and Mischa came in November and raised $1650 from 47 people. Then they went to Siliguri to buy plastic chairs, library floor carpets, winter jackets, shoes, socks, and school supplies.

George came in December and also raised money from his friends. He plans to send money to the school which will be used to build a fence around the vegetable garden.
