I thought you might be interested to see the lengths that the staff at Vidiyal have been going to in order to keep the children occupied and learning during the lockdown. For most academic years the schools have not opened since the first wave, while, for other years, the schools have only been open sporadically. This is a list of the tasks set by Vidiyal the past week. The volunteers continue to do an amazing job in the communities as Jim still has no access.
Some of you will be receiving photos of your child participating.

I have arrived back in East Anglia after 26 days travelling around the UK.

Hardly any miles left to do now but still time to send me a message for your sponsor child and of course to contribute to our total.

I havent quite finished for today but thought I had better get the update done.

Today has been a busy day with several more messages coming in for the sponsor children and lots of donations – THANKYOU.

I am constantly amazed by the variety of activities that Vidyal looks to provide for the children. The latest is to train the staff and volunteers so that they can teach the children how to play chess.
