First Light

Mission Statement

Education is the basic principle that will lead to prosperity for
the Santal tribe. However First Light has much wider ideals.
Education is the basic need for the children and the village, but
so is good health. Therefore First Light will arrange a medical
check for the children as often as possible. This is accompanied
by a course for the parents about sanitation and health. Also
HIV/AIDS will be included in a course for the village to make
them acquainted with the medical possibilities.

Description

First Light has built a school in the village North Sehalli where
the Santal tribe lives. Everyday the children learn the English
language with the help of games and songs. When they have
acquired the basics of the English language and are able to use
it in their daily lives, their chances of finding a high-paid job are
much higher.
We are giving service to the Santhal tribal community.
