A group of Sixth Form students from Impington Village College and Impington International College have returned home after a week of volunteering in Jodhpur, India.

The students embarked on a travel to India to volunteer with students at SKSN, which is a residential school for physically challenged students in Jodhpur.

While they were there, the Impington students spent time teaching English and Art to SKSN students, as well as volunteering in the school gardens to harvest produce for the school's kitchens.

They also developed their own Hindi language skills, learnt to create Henna art, and took part in a local cricket game. 

Before the Sixth Form students travelled to India, they took part in fundraising activities to raise enough money to purchase toiletries for students at SKSN. 

The students managed to raise £500 to put towards toiletries for SKSN students, and collected 16 bags of clothing for them.

Arwen, a student a Impington International College, said: "Being part of the SKSN students' daily routines was so inspiring, we learnt so much from them about finding joy in our daily lives."
