BENGAL, INDIA
Private school for the tea growers' children

Riverdale Academy

Hi, my name is Penny Taylor and I was an educator for 31 years. While traveling in Nepal last fall, I made the acquaintance of a lovely young woman who operates a private school for the tea growers' children in Bengal, India. She knows that to break the cycle of poverty, these children must get an education and learn English. It only takes $100. to send a child to school for one year. I am raising money to help her. She also needs sets of storybooks with pictures and colors. The children range in age from 5 to 18 years. If you have any sets of books you can send them in an "M" bag that you get from the post office. Each bag must weigh less than 70 lbs. Postage should run about $65.00.

Here is an excerpt of her letter to me:

"I know what it is to be frustrated and angry when one is unwanted in good schools just because one doesn't have the money. I am trying to give as many children as I can a chance to read and write, a chance to belong somewhere. I have a lot of faith in the children and I know that when they leave, they will carry with them a positive attitude wherever they may go. I am deeply grateful to you and your friends for caring about people you have never seen. With love, Smrithi"
