Jerome's trip to India

Kia Ora!

In February of the new year, myself and 10 others are traveling to India for 2 weeks alongside Open Home Foundation International (OHFI). The trip will involve our group visiting several tuition centres throughout Kolkata as well as a school in Manipor.

OHFI is a charity organisation devoted to supporting children and their families around the world. They train vulnerable communities to become self-sufficient upon the skills of their own people. OHFI has partnered with incredible people and communities in Rwanda, Zambia, Romania, Uganda, Kolkata, and Manipur in India. In these countries, OHFI provides social work support, health care clinics, tuition centres and schools.

Our hope is that through interacting with local communities we will be able to foster cross-cultural, long-lasting relationships with the communities and individuals we connect with. We are also planning to share the stories of those we meet once back in Aotearoa!

This trip is self-funded, so any financial support to help cover costs (flights, travel vaccines, equipment etc.) would be a huge blessing :) Any money raised above and beyond will used to purchase equipment for the communities we visit.
