Scarves of Friendship...

This is how the Round Table Movement crosses the National and International Boundaries....

Jaipur Pinkcity Roundtable 171 (JPRT) and a Team of students of Charleston High School had visited Jaipur 2 Years back on a social-school project at Bindayaka School. A school being supported by JPRT for 4 years now.

These students had come through the World Challenge Expedition (WCE) and had done some fantastic work then. On return they had promised to raise money for JPRT and the Round Table India Movement of "Freedom Through Education".

This year we got a mail from them, if we could work out a Business for Charity joint venture. After a lot of brain storming by Tr. Tarun, Tr. Pushpendra, Tr. Sanjeev, Tr. Alok and myself, Tr. Alok and his wife Shweta came up with - What if we Export Jaipur Block Printed Scarves to UK?! JPRT members paid for the initial expanse of 250 scarves, which were immediately dispatched to the school in Charleston, Scotland.
In very first week of Pre-Christmas sale we started to get query for a repeat order and by the second week this Charleston Schoolchildren and JPRT tablers Joint business venture was a roaring success! Now we are working out the details on a longer term venture.

JPRT is right now working on an Ambitious Heritage School project in Jaipur. This is a heritage site about 300 years old and had 500+ students studying in this diaplated building.

We have in a record time built a new wing of 8 classroom in this premises, which was inaugurated on 20th of October, 2007, and now the strength has grown from 500 to 900 plus....

We are still working on improving the school's old structure and to add a new toilet and other facilities.

We are now in Last Leg of the Phase 1 of the Parshuramdwara School Project but still short of FUNDS to help us to achieve our target.

Thank you everyone for support in our endeavor...
