A school in India with a million pesetas from Mallorca

Last Monday, April 3, one of the regular meetings of the association "Antics Escoltes de Mallorca" (old scouts) was held. Xavier Fortuny, councillor for the Marratxí town council, explained his experience and direct contacts he has kept with the people who are working in the Anantapur area of India. The Catalan, Vicenç Ferrer, has been there for over 40 years and he is due to visit Mallorca soon.

The association, "Antics Escoltes de Mallorca" has proposed collaborating directly with this work carried out in India by the Fundació Vicenç Ferrer, via a campaign called "WITH A MILLION PESETAS A SCHOOL CAN BE BUILT". Therefore they are organising a series of activities to collect funds to hand over before the end of the year 2000.
