The Hampi Children's Trust (HCT) is a Non-Profit making Organisation, based in the ancient, historic town of Hampi. The Trust was Co-founded by Kali Das (of Hampi itself) + Tim Brown (from England) in May 2007.
	The Aim of the Trust is to Promote & Improve the Educational Prospects of those young (aged 4 - 16 years).
	HCT Currently has 30 children enrolled in it's programme, expanded from the initial group of 8 children who started back in May 2007. The children are provided with full school uniforms and the essential materials.
	HCT also offer an 'Out-of-school-hours' programme, 7 days a week, for this group of children in order to try + give them a structure to their week and to help develop & improve their essential 'Life-skills'.
	In future months, as it already has more than ten children on the waiting list, with many more in need. This expansion is fully dependent on Donations and Volunteersfrom both Hampi residents and foreign tourists who are supportive of HCT's Aims & Objectives. Not only are Monetory Donations needed, but equally important to HCT is the participation of Volunteers at the Trust, and the help of those, living abroad, who can raise people's awareness of the work + Aims of HCT.
	HCT is always looking for Volunteers to give their time & help out at the Trust, However we ask for a minimum commitment of at least 2 weeks. HCT has leased a Guest House in Hampi, re-naming it 'Harmony House', where KALI, TIM & CELIA (HCT Administrator) live. Exchange for either helping with the children OR a Donation to HCT.
	HAMPI itself is a Magical, Spiritual place & a major Hindu pilgrimage destination : 26 Sq.Km of Temples, Ruins & a Magnificient River running through the site. It is a uniquely beautiful place to stay and Volunteering at HCT provides a Perfect Opportunity to get to know the Area and it's people better than one would by simply taking a Tour OR staying for a few days.
