The Rainbow Challenge is a voluntary community service project in North-Eastern India by three Scout Groups from Dublin, Ireland:

The project aims to support eductation for poor children in India. The Rainbow Troop of 18 male and female Scouts from Dublin will spend 3 weeks in India from December 20th to January 11th providing teaching assistance and introducing Scout Programme to the Loreto Sealdah School in Kolkata and building a school at Laitkor, Meghalaya.

In addition, The Rainbow Fund aims to provide long-term financial support to this cause. You can donate to The Rainbow Fund by contacting John Lawlor at jlawlor@scout.org.

Last Monday 8 Dec 2008 saw the launch of the Rainbow Challenge in the 127th Drumcondra Scout Den. Although we have been working on the Challenge for over a year things are coming together very quickly now. Many thanks are due to all who supported this project weather financially or for their many hours of work. It would not be possible for us to go to India without your efforts.
