"Glory of India"

They are thinking about starting a charity institution in Siliguri where they take in 10 - 15 young girls who are struggling in life. They want to take in girls who are quite young and give them a roof over their heads, other necessities like food and clothing, and start them off on basic education. The concept is to get people and businesses from Norway to sponsor a child or give monthly payments of 200-400 kroner which will go to administration and the needs of the children. They would also have a doctor who comes in regularly and checks on the medical condition of the girls, as well as a teacher who can start them off on reading and writing. As the girls grow up the project can evolve at the same time to either include more teachers or make deals with local schools for their education.

The location will be Siliguri, where they will set up a house. There will be enough space for some vegetable growing and towards the street there will be a shop which will either be rented out or it will be used by the institution itself. The land will not be too far away from the city because then it runs the risk of robberies if it is in some out of way place without any neighbours.
