Bright Sparks School India
Bright Sparks School India is a charity (Registered Charity 1126402) registered in both India and England and Wales, which runs a school for 100+ children serving a shanty town in Mohali, Punjab, northern India. The charity was established by Gail Edwards after a period volunteering in the region in 2001, and Nimrat Kaur. The school has seven teachers including Headteacher Rita Mohan, and rents a four-roomed building close to the shanty town.
The UK trustees and fundraisers need to raise £16,500 a year to fund the school. Bright Sparks provides an education to children that would otherwise not learn to read and write. Many of the children are working to support their families and have fallen out of the normal schooling process, Bright Sparks enables the children to learn at a level that suits them.
