As intended, Chris travelled to Rajasthan for the annual three day sports event at Hunar Ghar School in Bakhel, the cost of which (including food for all) was funded again this year by The Foundation.
Over the three days, around 3,800 delicious (confirmed by Chris!) and nutritious meals were served to the pupils and teachers.
Hunar Ghar were at a distinct advantage over the other 10 schools which took part having the full time Sports Coach and, this year, now having twice weekly scheduled P E classes for all students.
With thanks to :
Kanan Silvera of RBKS for all her help, information and translation skills during Chris’ three day visit;
AND
Aditya Trivedi of Lakecity Holidays, Udaipur for arranging the land transportation and generously waiving his usual arrangement charges and charging us only what he pays to his contracted drivers.
In his lifetime with us, Greg loved many things and one thing that meant the world to him was his families, friends and buddies, sharing good times, playing games having a laugh and having fun together. May 4, 2018, a quiz night was arranged, just as he loved it, in its true spirit and to support an altruistic project in his name with his awesome cousins, family and their friends. Its a giant thank you we express to all of you from the bottom of our heart.
When JT and Chris visited Hunar Ghar school in October 2017, they discussed with Ed and the team the possibility of sponsoring a sports event, sport being so important in Greg’s life. The Foundation agreed to sponsor the next Hunar Ghar sports day event, which enables Hunar Ghar school and Educate for Life (the charity running the school) to reach out to other communities in the area.
1000 people attended per day, with 3000 meals provided during the event that included games, prizes and so much more. Here are the photos from the day:

We were informed two weeks ago about 7 pups who were desperately in need of help. They were orphans and were rescued from an industrial area, but have not been washed, checked, vaccinated, dewormed, front-lined and chipped!
They are all looking for their forever homes and will soon be attending an upcoming adoption day. In the meantime, our rescued puppies are hungry. They are desperate for wet and dry puppy food. They are currently on Taste of the Wild wet/dry food and we would like to keep them on this.
If you would like to help our 7 beautiful babies and help us continue what we are doing, your generous donation could be ordered online through www.dubaipetfood.com. Mention Little Angels Animal Rescue League, and they will deliver the food to the shelter.
Thank you!
