Palash Nath is a linguist and community development worker who has worked with families from the Singpho tribe for several years.  Here's an excerpt from his website about the new Singpho Language School recently established in Assam:  http://communitydisadvantaged.blogspot/com/2010/05/help-hand-from-vancouver.html#comments

"In an unique instance of noble venture, some of the school going kids in Vancouver Island in Canada decided to use some of the money they saved to send some gifts in the form of schools supplies to their brothers and sisters at the Singpho Pre-Primary School which is being run at Ketetong at Margherita subdivision of Tinsukia District of Assam, India.

Moreover the church congregation of St. Andrew's Anglican church provided a financial assitance towards the renovation of a building to be used as the school building for the Singpho school.

Members of an international NGO Fertile Ground, Mr. Kel Kelly and Mrs. Peggy Carswell, along with their local facilitator for Assam, Ms. Pompy Ghosh, recently visited the school and delivered the gifts to the students and the donation to the community. The students of the school also staged a nice show by singing Singpho songs and dancing Singpho traditional dance.

I really appreciate this noble endeavour by the small children from the Vancouver Island to support their counterparts in the Northeast India. I hope this venture paves the way for a lovely bond between the children of two different countries."
