• Materially: Through work camps/summer camps where volunteers from all over the world gather in a camp setting, a “project” and engage in construction of classes.
• Economically: Volunteers participate in this Programme by sponsoring girls and boys to school through school fees, stationery, school uniforms etc.
• Fundraising: Networking with likeminded organizations and individuals.
