Grace Third World Fund
The Grace Third World Fund exists primarily to meet serious practical needs in India and raise the necessary resources to meet those needs. However, in the process of doing so, it is inevitable that the local community benefits closer to home as a result of getting involved.
These benefits are intangible but very real nevertheless. The trustees and other interested friends who have been out to see the impact of the work first hand have been greatly affected by what can only be described as a character-building experience seeing how the other half live.
When we come home to the Isle of Man, things that have been taken for granted are appreciated all the more, whether it be our standard of living or social opportunity. The other side of the coin is the culture shock of visiting a distant country where strong family values and standards of dress and behaviour are much higher than that of the West. This is particularly so amongst their young people where the concept of juvenile deliquency is virtually unheard of.
