Choolaimedu
In Choolaimedu centre we have study centre and activity classes like painting, cultural programs, general knowledge, dance, etc. The aim is to avoid drop out studens and give them a better future. Many of our students have become teachers.

Workshops open new perspectives for alternative sources of income. For exemple classes in service industry or in jewelery making.

Future plans include tailoring and handicrafts classes for women.

Plans for the longer run are made to open an alternative school.
