    Description

    Support the Creation of a Nonprofit School for Indigenous Children

    Global Compassion Foundation is a newly formed nonprofit organization, currently submitted for registration under the Societies Registration Act, India. We aim to establish a nonprofit charitable school for underprivileged indigenous Chakma children in Tuichawng and surrounding villages of Mizoram, India. The school will provide quality modern education combined with moral guidance and character development, helping children grow into compassionate, responsible, and confident individuals.

    We are currently in the planning and fundraising stage and seek volunteers to help build this school from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a meaningful education initiative for marginalized communities.

    Volunteers can support by:

    Providing guidance on school planning, administration, and project management

    Assisting with fundraising and connecting with donors or supporters

    Creating educational and outreach materials

    Promoting awareness about the school project locally and online

    Supporting community engagement initiatives

    Whether you can contribute time, skills, or guidance, your support will help lay the foundation for a school that empowers underprivileged children and promotes values of kindness, awareness, and ethical living.

    Directions

    Travel Directions:

    Arrival at Lengpui Airport (AIZ), Mizoram:

    After landing, take a taxi or cab from Lengpui Airport to Aizawl city (approximately 35–40 km, 1–1.5 hours).

    Recommended to stay overnight in Aizawl, as this allows for rest and easier travel to Tuichawng the next day.

    Aizawl to Tuichawng Village (Next Morning):

    From Aizawl, hire a Sumo / SUV or local taxi for the journey to Tuichawng Village.

    The distance is approximately 150–170 km, which typically takes 5–6 hours, depending on road conditions.

    Start early in the morning to reach Tuichawng by afternoon.

    Travel Tips:

    Carry water, snacks, and light luggage as the journey from Aizawl to Tuichawng is long and involves hilly roads.

    Ensure your driver is experienced in Mizoram’s mountainous terrain.

    Mobile network coverage may be limited in remote areas, so plan accordingly.

    Summary:

    Day 1: Fly to Lengpui Airport → taxi to Aizawl → overnight stay in Aizawl

    Day 2: Sumo / taxi from Aizawl → Tuichawng Village (~5–6 hours)
