16.11.11

One of the projects the charity is proud to have been involved with is the sponsorship and development of the Burunga Iqbal Ahmed High School and College, which educates 1,200 pupils in Sylhet in north east Bangladesh. This work, improving education for young people in Bangladesh, continues.

In September 2011 a group of high-profile volunteers from the UK visited the school as part of the Conservative Party's "International Social Action" project.

The volunteers, including MP Andrew Stephenson, who represents Pendle in the North West of England, gave youngsters at the school English lessons as part of Project Maja, an initiative led by Baroness Sayeeda Warsi.
