Donating to schools in Khajuraho, MP – India
Donating to schools or charity is a small effort
but gives you much love back
In the city Khajuraho, famous of the Kamasutra temples, they asked my father and me inside a primary school. This school was sponsored by people from the Netherlands, nearby where I come from. Well The Netherlands isn’t that big…so it is always close 🙂
I was curious about the project and so I entered and got a tour around the school. The school was build and had extended because of the donations.
The School is very clean but looks poor – Khajuraho MP India
The headmaster talks with passion about the school and about everything they did managed. About what the children did get by going to this school. He showed us a bicycle that was meant for a child that lived away from the village and that had to walk to school every day.

Going to School in an old Temple
Donating to Schools Khajuraho
The next day we were wandering around the village Khajuraho before traveling onwards to our next destination. At some point we entered a courtyard of an old templecomplex. It is situated just in front of the main temple site of Khajuarho, in between the touristic shop there is an entrance. When we got in there we were surprised to see it was turned into a school. Half of the temple was school and the surrounding building were classrooms too. Great!

* Donating to Schools in India *
for us it seems such a small gesture, for them it is a big help!!
The temple was such a great buidling, the rooms surrounding it were also filled with classes. The location was great but the resources were poor! We gave a little donation too ofcourse!
He told us that they were saving for a better water suply. As you can see on the picture below they had a mobile watertank. They give the children water in the breaks, you need to with heat like they have here. They wanted a good one that provided cooled water, that way the water would stay fresh for a longer time too.
I hope that the money is spend as we donated it and the school will see more tourists like this en will soon get better! The location already is!!
Do you have any experience with donating money while traveling?
