Appeal on behalf of the Anglo-Indian Schools of the Indian Church Aid Association, by John Coatman, C.LE.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Indian Church Aid Association helps to support the Church school, in India, Pakistan, and Burma for the children of the Anglo-Indian community.
The Anglo-Indians are a community of mixed race which has grown up during the long British connection with India. They number now about 150,000. Their home is India, their language is English, they are Christians. They gave to the British Government for generations loyal and valuable service in many branches of the administration. The life of the community has been built on an excellent education of mind and character in the Church schools. established all over the country. The great rise in prices and growing unemployment are hitting the community hard. Many parents cannot afford the full school fees, and a number of children have to be educated free or not at all.
The Indian Church Aid Association is sending our money tor bursaries. Each bursary enables one boy or girl to go to a good Christian school and thus have a chance in life. The average cost of a bursary is £25 a year. The aim is to send not less than £ 5,000 a year.
John Coatman, who was for twenty years with the police and public information services in India, has intimate experience of the Anglo-Indian community.
