Shamrocks for Schools

This St. Patrick’s Day, Suas needs you. We need your time, your energy and your enthusiasm to help us paint the town green and give thousands of children in Kolkata the chance of a quality education.

We are asking for a committment from you to help out for at least one 4 hour shift, during which you will be painting small shamrocks on people's faces (it's very easy and you will have a chance to practise!).

Volunteers are placed in teams and given a briefing before the shift, as well as all materials required. Members of the public do not have to pay anything for the shamrocks, but may donate if they choose. 100% of all donations will be spent on education projects in Kolkata.

By volunteering your time on the 16th or 17th of March, you’re helping to change lives. All of the money that you raise will go directly to supporting long term education projects in Kolkata such as;

Early start programmes and bridging schools like those run by Development Action Society are designed to get 500 children a year into the education system from an early age.
Coaching Centres run by Sabuj Sangha are providing over 800 children with after school support so that they will stay in school.
Life skills programmes such as Vikramshila’s Education to Employability Project are designed to equip 6,500 children across 10 schools with the skills required for life beyond school.
Teacher training, organisational development and infrastructure projects build the capacity of the staff in our Partners so that they can serve more people with greater efficiency.

Over the past six years, Volunteers have raised over €150,000 for Suas Partners in India and Kenya. Last year, your fundraising provided Development Action Society with a new Resource Centre which has meant that they can better serve nearly 2,000 children.
