Young volunteers learn about life in a fishing village

CUTTACK, India, 1st April 2004: Twenty-one youngsters from New Stewart School campus chapter, along with three of their teachers, provided much needed muscle to help build four
Habitat houses on the shores of the Indian Ocean in late March.

The volunteers, aged between 12 and 16, spent two days building and learning about the lives
of the villagers of Gadamrugasira in the eastern Indian state of Orissa. Most of the villagers are fishermen while others tend rice fields. Three officials from Habitat’s Cuttack affiliate joined
the build.

This is the third time the campus chapter has sent out work teams. The New Stewart school is
an English-language, Christian high school based in Cuttack city, a 20-kilometer ride from
Gadamrugasira. The school has some 5,000 students.
