My first posting!

So what is Slumschools? It is a new organization that has been formed for the purpose of helping schools in poverty-stricken areas around the world. Our main focus right now will be on India.

1. We hope to make it possible for those who teach in the schools to have an opportunity for continuing education, something they likely on their own would not be able to afford.

2. We hope to make it possible for teachers in North American Schools to have an opportunity to travel to India and get to know Indian teachers and schools..

3. We hope to find ways to encourage North American teachers to have greater understanding of the problems teachers in Indian slum schools face.

4. We will give you information concerning other organizations that are doing worthwhile work either in providing continuing education for teachers in poverty-stricken areas and/or helping their schools financially.
