UWCSEA Global Concerns: Turning ideas into action

Empowerment Global Concerns

Kolkata [Kolkata, India]

Kolkata GC (KGC) is a group of students who aim to raise awareness about two organizations in Kolkata which help handicapped children - Nirmal Hriday and Bal Vikas Kendra. All profits raised go to these organizations. In the past we have raised sufficient funds to buy Braille machines for the two schools. Members of the GC have also visited the organizations to better understand the needs of the children we seek to help. We meet every Monday at 1:15 pm in Room 18.

For further information, please contact our GC at calcutta@uwcsea.edu.sg.
