Profits from the evening will go towards the Saath primary school of Jaisalmer, located in the state of Rajasthan, India. Thanks to the funds collected for the last three years, Tej Mahal was in a position to buy the land and premises of the school, pay the teachers’ salaries, purchase equipment for the children (uniforms, school equipment, etc) and providing each child a free lunch since September 2004. Located in the poor suburbs of Jaisalmer, the school receives no subsidies. Half of the 84 pupils in the age group of 4 to 14 are girls: a great success from the point of view of fostering gender equality (photographs of the school can be seen on the site www.tejmahal.org).

Parking available on site.

Contribution: 60 € per adult (buffet, drinks and concert) and 12 € per child (mini-buffet and baby-sitting) should be transferred on Tej Mahal Cultural Association’s bank account 001-4342880-72. Kindly mention your first and last name as well as the number of persons. Children animation is provided by baby-sitters under the supervision of adults.
