WELCOME TO WHEEL OF HOPE’S HAPPY HOME
Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families
![Page 2: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Wheel of Hope was started by David and Pamela as the Millennium Star Cricket Club under the patronage of Miles Duke of Norfolk. It
is now a nationally registered charity both in the U.K and India
![Page 3: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Tuition is needed for all but the very rich children in India as there are often over 60-70 children in a class.
![Page 4: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Today we have evolved into a super day care centre to protect the children from lives in
poor uncaring homes
![Page 5: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Most of our children have both parents and father goes out fishing at sea every night.
![Page 6: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
They go in small boats and often boys as young as 12 0r 13 (when they are legally allowed to leave school) help them
![Page 7: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The homes from which our children come are usually dysfunctional because father has a medical, drink or
drug problem. Alcohol is a very bad problem in fishing villages such as ours
![Page 8: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Our children sleep at home but during daylight hours they are at Happy Home
protected from their Fathers.
![Page 9: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
We help the mothers in many ways including counselling, medical advice and sometimes help with bills and even food
![Page 10: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
We offer sewing courses

Cooking courses and candle making so that they can earn an independent income
![Page 13: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Suresh has sent our teachers on a candle making course so that they can teach our mothers how to make candles
and they all have official certificates in candlemaking!
![Page 14: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Here are our teachers proudly holding their first candle …. Suresh is getting much better at tasking
photos!!!
![Page 15: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Children have to have tuition because if they fail their exams they stay down
a class and eventually there is no point in them staying at school.
![Page 16: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
We give them all they need to stay at school, their books and uniforms as well as tuition in
classes averaging 25.
![Page 17: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
We have a really splendid team of teachers who work hard teaching the children and trying to solve their problems. Here are some of them in their official uniforms
![Page 18: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

.Wheel of Hope is a non-religious organisation that just happens to be the adopted charity of Doncaster Minster and the Bishop of Doncaster
is our Patron
![Page 20: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Life at Happy Home is HAPPY … we try to make it that and every visitor is so impressed
with their joy and exuberance
![Page 21: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
They work very hard doing 2 hours of tuition in the morning before state school
and 2 hours in the evening before going to bed.
![Page 22: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
We make sure they have a good meal at school every day and on Saturdays we feed them at Happy Home. Suresh’s sister Kavitar cooks for them!!
![Page 23: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The children love to play but have so little time except Saturday afternoon and Sundays.
![Page 24: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Pamela and I are in India with guests for 3 months of the year and during that
time we make sure they have singing and dancing lessons and have a party.
![Page 25: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
I also teach them to paint, they love making a mess but they are good at clearing it up!
![Page 26: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Thanks to Doncaster Council, Ridgewood and various other friends we have a Computer suit at Happy Home … paradise for our
Matriculation Students
![Page 27: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
In 2010 we did a major presentation which was professionally put onto DVD. Their acts went on for 4 hours!
![Page 28: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Shiju Shija and Malu live with their mother and father in a small leaf house that backs onto the open sewer
You may notice mother’s face and hands are badly burnt… you will soon discover why!
![Page 29: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Very few have lavatories, running water or even electricity
![Page 30: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Water is taken from filthy wells and has to be boiled to make it drinkable.
![Page 31: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Father a fisherman tried to burn his wife to death by pouring kerosene over her. This is
common as it is difficult to prove it was not an accident.
Fortunately the children saved her but she is badly disfigured.
We have given the whole family help and counselling and also built a lavatory for them.
![Page 32: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Vinitha was not so lucky. Her father succeeded but he died of cancer a few months later. She lives with her grandmother who works as a coolie
![Page 33: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
We had to build a house for them. It is very basic but it is a roof over their heads.
![Page 34: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Manu has lived with his mother and sister Shija outside aunt’s house since the age of 4.
Without the help of Wheel of Hope Manu would have had to have gone fishing at the age of 12.
![Page 35: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
He tries very hard and his work has been excellent this is his diagram of a human cell done when he
was 13.
Sadly he was one of our two boys to fail matriculation. However 13 out of 15 passed! We will make sure he becomes an apprentice and has a worthwhile job.
![Page 36: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
We are very grateful to so many who support us regularly especially Ridgewood school which gives
substantial monthly donations to us
Here some Ridgewood 6th formers try their skills at impressionist painting to encourage our children at Happy Home
![Page 37: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
It costs nearly £3000 per month to run Happy Home this is through …
Rent for Happy Home; Salaries for the teachers;
expenses for Suresh and his team; Food for the children at happy Home;
Outreach to the poor; School uniforms;
School books and equipment; Painting equipment; Electricity water and
general maintenance; medical expenses on rare occasions
![Page 38: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Expenses in the UK are also incurred through having to pay for fundraising venues such as
antique and car boot fairs
Also buying fundraising items in both India and the UK
Petrol expenses travelling to venues and giving talks. No one in Wheel of Hope UK takes a salary all time is given on a voluntary basis.
![Page 39: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Much fundraising is done by Pamela who arranges dinner parties, lunches and
afternoon teas at our home. She also helps with Antique and Boot fairs.
![Page 40: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Why not invite a group of friends to our house for dinner we can easily cope with 12 to 14 and you
know that the profit goes directly to the charity.
Prices start from just £7 for tea, £10 for lunch and dinner … depending what you want to eat.
Christmas dinners cost £30 per head but you can guarantee a sumptuous feast with bubbly and all the trimmings!
![Page 41: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
David gives talks about Wheel of Hope and many other subjects at Mothers Union, Rotary Dinners, School Assemblies and many other
organisations
At his home in Conisbrough the lower ground floor has been turned into an Egyptian Museum and talks room.
Since the age of 7 David has been fascinated by Ancient Egypt and has led nearly 35 trips there in school holidays.
It is ideal for special fund raising events after dinner parties
![Page 42: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
There, Power Point presentations can be given to audiences of up to 20 and there is still room for
Tutankhamen!
These talks are not just on Ancient Egypt but on very many aspects of history and Art especially the Renaissance and Impressionists
Why not ask for a leaflet and join us?....all to raise funds for the Trust
![Page 43: Day care and Tuition Centre for over 250 children from dysfunctional families.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db65503460f94aa80a4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The very best way to help us is through monthly bankers order payment … it matters not how little. Remember we are a registered charity and if you pay tax we can claim GIFT AID
Remember too our Boot Fairs and Antique
Fairs. If you think you have anything we could use for fundraising please contact us at the same number or email [email protected] or Pamela at [email protected]

a year there. This is our house where you would stay.
