Round Table India

Each day the rally starts at one of the Round Table locations, such as a school or a factory. This has given us a great insight into where the donations to Round Table go. Each day we are also surrounded by the press and TV crews, we've even appeared in the local India papers three times. This is great exposure for both Rickshaw Challenge and Round Table.

School children in Bangalore. All children here were from the poorest families, some living in the slums. They are attacted to the school initially because of the lunch time meal and then keep coming back because of the opportunity to learn and gain an education. This school had computers donated by SAP which they run self-learning programs from.

Disabled women working at a factory in Vellore. This electronics company was established by Round Table specifically for the purpose of employing disabled women. These ladies are also given accomodation through Round Table and a house after 10 years service.

Round Table is similar to Rotary organisations. Local Indian people from the township get involved to set up the projects therefore no donation money is spent on administration. All money's go to the people who need it most.

Thank you to those that donated

A special thanks goes to everyone that donated money to Round Table India to help us make our journey a success in more than just the adventurous sense.

Donate to India

Now, we're doing this adventure in the name of charity.


The charity we'll be supporting is called Round Table India and the plan is to adopt the villages that we will pass through on our travels. At the end of the trip we will get to decide how the money is to be spent on the people we have met along the way.


If you would like to make a donation then we'd like to give you a little gift by way of thanks. For donations of AU$50 or more we'll be able to send you a souvenir stubby holder in the post.


If $50 is too much then any size donation will be a BIG help to the LITTLE people [children] of India so please don't be shy in helping out where you can.


Please add a post to this message to let us know that you'd like to help out and show others your support and we'll personally email you with details of how to deposit funds thereafter.
