Links and Sponsorship

On behalf of the Goa 2012 Team and Silcoates School we would like the thank the following for helping make Goa 2012 such a fantastic trip.

The Educators Trust India's mission is to educate and empower Goa’s underprivileged children. Funded solely by donations, we aim to help those most in need and to initiate social change by:

• Supporting underprivileged, migrant children from rural slum areas and enabling them to build a better future for themselves.

• Teaching children and their parents about education, hygiene and nutrition.

• Promoting children's confidence and awareness, encouraging their potential and helping to develop a pride in India.

They have played a huge role in allowing this project to work. Not only is the building registered to the charity but the hard work that they put into helping children in India has inspired the staff and students at Silcoates to want to help out and make a difference. I would like to thank Ian Pugh and his team, Mr and Mrs Mistry for all their hard work in helping us get this project going.

The Wilkes Group is a local company that specialises in vending, property, catering disposal and cleaning. They are very active in giving money to charity and have already raised money for India through other causes. We would like to thank Simon Wilkes for his continued support.
