Raj goes home in 2 days time. I spoke with him last night and he told me of another story.......one of many that have happened on this trip.......On the 23rd of June Raj went to a Church that he has some friends at in Farnborough and told us about his need for tents to support the growth of his slum children/adventure camp scheme. Some of Raj’s friends there contacted Glastonbury Festival organisers after the Festival was over to see if they could donate 50 tents to Fishermen Trust The roller coas
ter ride had begun........
ter ride had begun........In just two days from point of initial contact to implementing the plan everything had to be organised. Despite many setbacks a team got together a 5 men, top of the line Mercedes van and trailer and Land Rover Defender 4x4 and headed down on our 2 hour journey to Glastonbury Festival, Pilton, Somerset. From 8 in the morning till 3pm come rain or shine the team pulled down tent after tent, amazed at the quantity and quality of the tents, some as expensive £600 each. Come the end of the day and only 48 hours from the conception of the plan the group had got 65 high quality tents which will accommodate 200-300 Indian slum children. Praise God!!
The tents will now (we hope) be transported to Raj in India via the Dad of one of Raj’s friends who is a pilot with British Airways!!
