A Cosy Blanket Costs So Little

[gallery]Last week i received an email from my friend Alfred Thacker he asked me if we could help supply blankets for around 60 children who live in the little Mission School situated near the village called Marraiyoor in the state of Kerala. I have visited this little school and have noted the excellent work that is carried out there by two woman Jhansi and Freeda. Over the years these two woman have been seeking to engage with the tribal people who live in the Western Ghats. This is a mountain range that stretches almost 800 kilometers in the western region of India. Some of the mountain peaks can be as high as 9000ft. The temperature during the months of December and January can be extremely cold. iIt is thought that there could be in excess of 100,000 tribal people living high up in these mountains. They prefer to live isolated lives and are suspicious of strangers. Freeda and Jansi have travelled extensively in these mountains and have built up the trust of many of the tribal people to the extent that they allow their children to go for extended periods to the little school that the woman have established. Sometimes it can take the children two or three days to walk back to their villages in the mountains. It is these children who are in need of the blackets and warmth at this time. If you feel you'd like to donate to buy a blanket or two feel free to click here and donate through the Sanctus Media website to the project. It is our aim to get the blankets out to the children as soon as possible.
