Fair tourism
Help with education in India
It is not a travel agency that launches into the humanitarian, but an NGO that starts tourism fair. That's the strength of Mass Education. This association created in India, by Bengali farmers south of Calcutta, aims to improve their living conditions. Women, in particular, have organized themselves to obtain credits. The association works for the reintegration of street children, builds schools, health programs and agricultural projects. By visiting them, you help them financially, and you will take advantage of them to make many cultural excursions.
