The Trust was started in 2002 to commemorate the life of Sebastian
who died tragical y. In his memory, numerous educational projects
have been funded by Belgravia Gal ery, with the general aim of
supporting the rural poor through schools and childcare initiatives. The
most recent was Sebastian Hunter High School at Arni in Tamil Nadu,
a secondary school for 600 pupils opened in February 2007.
Some 6000 pupils a day currently use the facilities provided by the
Trust. We intend to expand this through sales of artwork including
those by Nelson Mandela.
Other initiatives include support for sufferers of HIV, a mother and child
care centre, Seb’s School, a primary school in Tamil Nadu, resource
centres, computer rooms and science facilities at a number of schools,
a workshop for women in a vil age hit by the Tsunami, teacher’s
training and amenities in schools.
Poverty in India affects some 600 mil ion people, and education is the
most important instrument of change. We have seen the hope offered
to young people through education but much stil needs to be done.
