Charter group is also helping to build a better future. We work in partnership with a number of community organisations across India committed to improving education, housing and community support for disadvantaged people. We are significantly involved with projects in the slums of Chennai, schools in Jaipur, Orissa & an orphanage in Andhra Pradesh. The mission school has around 200 children enrolled from the surrounding tribes, mostly living in mud huts with no other education available. The children were provided with clothing, education, health & nutrition etc as a part of the community services and they started life not normally available in such areas.

Hanging out chocolates, started off orderly then ended with a 'lolly scramble' riot.
At church on Easter Sunday .
An incredibly Sunday afternoon stroll in the slums. White people do not generally venture here, so we were treated with great interest and respect, a very warm welcome.
All the kids loved viewing images of themselves on the digital camera, usually squealing with delight! We made new friends wherever we went.
