Raleigh India Expedition 12J: India in a thousand colours

India in a thousand colours

Our latest blog is below these images.

Ann Taylor, the Raleigh India 09C photographer, has joined the expedition and is already proving she has an eye for the dramatic and beautiful.

"I always wanted to come and photograph India because of the colour and expressiveness in the faces of the people. It is far better than I could have hoped for."

To see any of the pictures in a bigger size either on this entry or any others, just click on them.

Raleigh PMs building Bashas were a strange sight for villagers...

Although probably not as strange a sight as Country Programme Manager Mark Ashby with a bucket on his head.

Raleigh India

Raleigh is a youth and education charity with 26 years experience in providing adventurous and challenging expeditions for people from all backgrounds, nationalities and ages, especially young people.

Raleigh India launched in February 2008. In just two years its expeditions and volunteer projects have grown beyond all expectation. So has our understanding of the importance of our presence here.

India witnesses a huge disparity between the urbanised wealthy and the rural poor. Although government initiatives are targeting this and attempting to redress the balance; changing an embedded culture and reversing the tide in a sub-continent as huge as India is not a fast process.

Through concentrated and sustained efforts our project groups have begun to make a tangible difference in the areas Raleigh India has focused. By partnering with both local grass roots NGOs, government agencies such as the Ministry for Environment and Forests and international NGOs like the World Wide Fund for Nature, Raleigh has been able to access and address some core issues here in India.

For more information, please visit Raleigh's website: http://www.raleighinternational.org/

And now there's a brand new adventure in partnership with the UK Government! Check out the Raleigh India ICS blog for all the action from our teams of volunteers at http://raleighindiaics.blogspot.in/

Namaskaara!
