Today, one of the shop owners in the nearby town of Utherimerur had paid for a special lunchtime meal for our Crakehall Primary School pupils and elderly villagers in memory of his late sister and family. We often forget that IRDT receives support from local people, as well as through our UK charity. ... See MoreSee Less

Seven months since the local fruit and vegetable market in Manampathy closed, today is the first time open. We have been importing all the food required for our Food Aid programme direct from the large wholesale markets but it will be convenient for our villagers to be able to shop local. Signs that things are returning to normality? ... See MoreSee Less

It's Wednesday, so boiled eggs all round!
Our daily Food Aid programme is really making a difference to the 350 elderly and vulnerable people in the Mettupalayam area.
Thank you Venkat and staff, and also to all our Friends who have donated extra funds to enable this life saving programme to continue. ... See MoreSee Less

It pays to be flexible! Due to cases of Covid 19 in a school in Andra Pradesh, the local education officer has advised us that we should educate our Crakehall Primary School Mettupalayam students in their own villages, so this class is being held in Karani village!
All these obstacles are there to be overcome, but it doesn't make life easy for Venkat and the teachers.
Most Government and private English Medium schools remain closed. ... See MoreSee Less

We have been busy making up packs of cards featuring original paintings from our very good Friend, Susan Sands.
These are available in packs of six with a suggested donation of £5 per pack. Postage costs can be quite high but we are happy to quote as necessary.
All the costs in making these cards is covered by the trustees so every penny we receive will be sent out to help cover our project's running costs.
The cards are blank inside, so can be used for a multitude of purposes and we can make up packs of one design or mixed six.
Message us for further information or to place your orders! ... See MoreSee Less

Apologies, I intended to post this yesterday, on International Teachers Day.
Our Crakehall School Mettupalayam is blessed with an amazing team of teachers, who all do so much to provide a superb education to all our students, irrespective of their religion or caste.
From our small, rural area, our students have had many opportunities to improve their lives, some going on to university, some into medicine, or engineering or computer science. Whatever the students ambitions, they all leave our primary school both literate and numerate.
Thank you teachers, you have the most important job in the world, as our futures are in your hands. ... See MoreSee Less

So excited to see that our Crakehall Primary School, Mettupalayam has now reopened! It's a long time since the lock down started in April but we have been paying our teachers their full wages, and they have been taking classes in the various villages around.
So far, 57 children have returned, including 8 new students from the Kuruvi tribal village, and Venkat expects more to turn up each day over the coming weeks.
Most English Medium private schools remain closed,
as many parents cannot afford the fees and the schools cannot cover their costs. We will, of course, happily take those students into our free school!
Enormous thanks to Venkat and all the staff for persevering throughout this crisis, and please keep safe. ... See MoreSee Less
