Trip to India


No, fuck you!!! Not that type of trip that the Beatles and Led Zeppelin used to take to the Ganges River in the 60's, literally and figuratively. Read the below information.

Jared is organising an expedition to India fm 7th-28th feb. He's meanwhile still recruiting. so if you find yourself just a wee interested, DO NOT HESITATE to contact him. his particulars can be found in the msg below. if you know of any friends who might be interested, it'll be cool if you can forward this to them too. mighty thanks.

There is an expedition to Mysore, India, 7th-28th February to address the issue of child marriages. The project aim is to bring messages to villagers through art and drama, this performance arts-based project involves the training of 20 Singaporean and 15-20 Kannada youth participants in acting skills, vocal skills, mime & movement. This is a concern as marriages are arranged for children when they young. They get married at around the age of 15 years old. Problems arise as they are not mature enough to understand the responsibilities of maintaining a family.

Participants should be between 17 and 30 years old, and a Singaporean citizen/PR. Cost for the 21-day expedition is approximately $500 for first-time participants, as SIF/YEP will support 70% or $1,000, whichever is lesser. Those who wish to join, please e-mail Jared Tham or call 90401910.


It's really great to know some of my friends give a shit while I have decided not to. I hope Jared has a great trip and help out some people, achieving what he wants on this trip. Respect.
