Link with Kolkata and our friends at Scott Lane School
Twelve months ago Mrs. Richardson was in Kolkata, teaching at Scott Lane school. Once again several Derbyshire teachers have flown out to India to work in the pavement school of Kolkata this January. Despite us not having a teacher fly out to Kolkata this year, Mrs. Richardson has still sent out resources messages to our friends at Scott Lane. Mrs. Richardson and the children in our 'Kolkata Companions' group also worked to raise £300 on our Christmas jumper day last month to help the pavement children that attend Scott Lane School. 

You are invited to follow this link to see the children at Scott Lane this week using the resources that Mrs. Richardson sent out and that were taken to Scott Lane by Alison and Anita, two staff that organise the annual trip for Derbyshire schools . CLICK HERE. 

You are also invited and encouraged to spend 10 minutes watching this video. This was made by the Cathedral Relief Service (CRS) in Kolkata. It's the CRS that we have links with and that  manage the schools attended by the pavement children. The video explores the lives of three pavement children and helps remind us of how lucky we are to live in Belper. CLICK HERE.
