Three members of the Jutebag team are undertaking an epic journey by tuk tuk to support the expansion of a pioneering Indian school.

Amit Shah, Mayur Patel and Ketan Chag are participating in the ‘Tuk Tuk Safarnama’, travelling 3,000km in one of the iconic vehicles from the shores of Rameshwaram, traversing India and ending in the city of Bhuj, where the school is based.

The trio have set up a Just Giving page, and you can contribute to the cause here:

All money raised will go to the charity Sishukunj, which aims to build a teacher training centre at the school, along with vocational training facilities and hostel units for 100 girls and boys.

Jutebag has already donated £2,000 on its own account to the cause, in place of sending out the customary seasonal gifts.

The school project is being delivered through Sishukunji’s Sewa division. Sewa is dedicated to alleviating poverty, distress and illness amongst children and young adults.

It provides essentials such as food, shelter and health care, collaborating with carefully vetted partner charities primarily in India, East Africa and here in the UK.
