This project is to support the secondary level education of about 50 tribal school students. These children are from the indigenous tribal communities of Tibetan, Mongoloid stock. They are the original inhabitants of the hill districts in southeast Bangladesh. In 2004 a peace was agreed after many years of persecution and armed struggle, which many would call land-grabs and ethnic cleansing. These years have left many people without land and children with a single parent or orphaned. The school takes about 650 children from a wide area of the hill tracts. The Dhaka Kawran Bazar Rotary Club has joined us in an application for a matching grant to sponsor 50 children with about £120 per year each for 3 years. This will cover the cost of tuition, accommodation books and stationary, clothes and basic health. Also included is a request for £1,500 of library books. This is a rolling program with children being taken on at different levels of their education. The total cost of the application is $49,768.
