Indian Winter on Channel 4

Channel 4 have been running a series of programmes about India and I have tried to make sure I catch sight of a couple as I am always interested to try and learn more about India. Seeing programmes such as ‘Gordon’s Great Escape’, where Gordon Ramsey discovered the diversity of Indian cuisine, ‘Slumming It’ where Kevin McCloud spent time with people in Mumbai and the film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ makes me think about the children that Project Mala works with. Although I realise that the children Project Mala works with are not in the same situation as those shown in the slums of Mumbai it nonetheless reminds me that the lives of the children in India are very different from the lives of children in England.

Once again I feel grateful that there are organisations such as Project Mala working to bring us together in some way. Project Mala makes it easy for people to contribute to making a difference to someone who will appreciate it, either by sponsoring a child or by making a donation.
