Following our Mid Tour Rest at Horsley Hills we set off back via Kolar where we met up with our host from Horsley Hills who wanted us to have a look at his School. when we eventually arrived back In Bangalore, we met up with our fourth host IT Corridor, whose President 
advised us that we had half an hour to get to a school where the DG was going to be opening a Toilet block. This did not seem at first to be a major project until you realise that these Government schools were built with only one toilet if they were lucky, which meant that Girls would refrain from going to school when they got to a certain age. This new toilet block would enable girls to continue with their education which is so important. The toilet projects at these Government sc
hools has meant that 50% more girls are now finishing their education, for a cost of £4000. The Rotary club had also given the children two pairs of socks and a pair of shoes each at Christmas. Two of the children then told us how much the Toilets would mean to them and the Girls did some dancing which was very colourful. Just as we were leaving the DG and Myself were asked to plant a tree each which was a real honour, i only hope it survives!!.
