We are a very small charity in Hyderabad, India, created when the Chatback Trust completed it's pioneering work.

We set up websites, make videos and raise funds for other charities and voluntary organisations in India and Africa, especially those that promote education for dispossessed groups.

Videos
We have part-financed, produced and written the scripts for fund-raising movies for three local charities and a community school. These can be found on YOUTUBE or by using the following links:--

MS Foundation Community School
Kalleda Rural School
Institute for Rural Health Studies

Sivananda Rehabilitation Leprosy Hospice and Colony









 

Young Zoomers Club
We support two groups of students with technology and tutorial sessions in Hyderabad. Online lessons are designed to widen the experience of students as well as improving their written English. To learn more click the heading above or the 'Zoomers' button on the right.

Tutorials
Designed for beginners, and available in English and Telugu, these are short videos made by screen-grabbing and adding a commentary to Powerpoint slideshows. A simple but effective process.

Wikis
These also are too many to list. Once they are set up it is our policy to encourage local users to take over maintenance for themselves. A very good example is the U3A Climate Study wiki/website.

Email projects
When H.M. Queen Elizabeth visited Whitefield School for children with special needs in Walthamstow, London in 1985, we showed her two pupils using a PC to communicate with other pupils in other countries. She sent an email of encouragement to 50 'special needs' students around the world herself; as far as we know, the first Head of State to send an email (yes, even well before President Clinton).

We also arranged sponsorship through the Internet for students of the MS Foundation School, set up in a poor community some miles outside of Hyderabad.
