Jordan Queen visits 'alternative learning centre'
New Delhi, March 10. (PTI): It was a visit they did not even dream of but were overwhelmed when the 'Rani' of Jordan, Rania Al-Abdullah came calling to their 'alternative learning centre'. The 100-odd underprivileged children of Ritinjali Learning Centre at Kusum Pahari slums in South Delhi were overjoyed when Queen Rania entered their small school, which was once a water tank, sat amongst them and keenly watched the class in progress. # http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus...0603101501.htm I wasn't even aware a trip to India was on the cards.

Another article on the trip: Delhi slum kids mesmerised by 'Crownless' Queen of Jordan By Sudhakar, New Delhi: “Where is the crown“ whispered a small child as Queen of Jordan Rania-Al-Abdullah seated herself among a dozen slum kids at the Ritinnjali Learning Centre situated in the Kusum Pahari slums here today. Mesmerised by the Queen's sheer warmth and beauty, the kids had expected her to arrive in royal costumes. http://www.newkerala.com/news2.php?a...lnews&id=23857 Last edited by Veram98; 03-10-2006 at 08:45 AM.

Thanks for the pictures :)
From hellomagazine.com Rania goes back to school with kids in New Delhi Jordan's Queen Rania brought some excitement into the lives of a throng of underprivileged children when she jetted into the Indian capital New Delhi on Friday. Over one hundred impoverished youngsters were overjoyed when the popular royal went along to join them for the morning in their new school. The mum of four, who is visiting the populous nation in her role as a Unicef goodwill ambassador, journeyed to the slums to the south of the city in order to meet her young hosts. Once inside the makeshift classroom she was told of how a new education program is helping build a brighter future for disadvantaged children all over the country. Students gathered inside the improvised centre, which used to be a giant water tank, would have been forgiven for having difficulty concentrating on their lessons, after the glamorous VIP crouched down amongst them. King Abdullah's elegant wife watched intently as the teachers worked by candlelight to give their young charges basic elementary skills. The school is one of 3,000 alternative learning centres that have been set up in a combined effort by the United Nations, the Indian government and over 180 non-governmental organisations. The scheme works by taking in children who have missed out on early education and providing them with enough skills to reintegrate into normal schools.

Sonia Ghandi is looking great - very attractive lady especially in spite of the severe scraped back chignon and minimal make up - imagine what she would be like if she got the 'Vogue' treatment. Thank goodness there are things like this going on in the Delhi slums - from when I was there I remember how utterly abysmal it is for those people.
