Our March Share the Plate is the Annie Margaret Barr Higher Secondary School

As part of a global Unitarian Universalist Association initiative, we have been partners with Unitarian friends in the Khasi Hills of India since 2003. This is a very poor, remote section of Northeast India, and home to the 3rd largest population of Unitarians in the world. This Unitarian School is open to boys and girls of all backgrounds.

Last year, we led a global initiative to raise funds for the Rainwater Harvesting Facility, which is currently being constructed at the school site.
