India: Meeting our partners

David and Linda spent several weeks in India meeting with partners and identifying needs that future Alongside teams can help to meet. Many wonderful opportunites exist to work in communities in northern India, especially in the state of West Bengal. The Christian agencies we partner with operate schools, homes for orphans and a variety of poverty alleviation programs in which Canadians can participate.

We look forward to working with leaders from Emmanuel Ministries, Touch the LIves Ministry, JKPS and the North Bengal Outreach Ministry to help meet the physical and spiritual needs of children, families and communities.
