Bringing people in the UK and Haryana together
The Work of the Buwan Kothi International Trust
The story begins in 2005 with the wedding of Gilly Mundy and Debbie Quargnolo in Buwan Kothi
a village in Haryana in northern India
An isolated rural communityof around 36 farming families, which lacks many basic amenities
such as a school or a local doctor
Visitors from the UKwere overwhelmed by the warmthand generosity of local people
and decided to give something back
By raising fundsto improve education opportunities,health and the environment
in collaboration with local people
Gilly’s sudden deathin March 2007, aged only 36, gave us renewed energy and a plan:
to build a school named in his memory
In the course of one yearthrough sponsored eventsand individual donations
we raised over £52,000
Allowing us to pay forwork to be completed,by April 2008
on phase 1 of our major project
The Gilly Mundy Memorial Community School
a non-profit school with 200+ pupils
benefiting the wider community
Over the next year we aimto complete work on the schooland start work on a Resource Centre
and schoolchildren in Britain
And strengthen tiesbetween the children at the Gilly Mundy Memorial Community School
