W-ISH India in the Netherlands

In October 2006, at the initiative of Kinderpostzegels, some ISH members and Dutch youngsters set off for Bangalore, India, as part of an exchange project. For two weeks, Indian young people from difficult social backgrounds were able to attend workshops, put on a performance and go on various excursions. It turned out to be a success, because after the departure of ISH, eight Indian youngsters continued to put into practice all they had learned. They wanted to establish their own ISH institute in India. Their enthusiasm to continue independently was such that ISH was inspired to maintain its support for them. As a result, in cooperation with Kinderpostzegels, W-ISH became a fact and the Indian youngsters were able to make their dream come true.
