The “Rosmary Project” sponsors the construction
of the school to be built at the Kalahrdaya Centre
The Foundation “Jesuits worldwide” accompanies and supports
the Kalahrdaya Project of Father Saju George SJ
(Societas Jesu) in India. The Centre is located near
Kolkata (Calcutta); its name, Kalahrdaya,
means “the heart of art”
Under the watchful eyes of Father Saju SJ, these girls are completely immersed in their lessons
Father Saju SJ teaches the children and young people of the surroundings villages not only
English, but also yoga, music, and Bharata Natyam, the traditional temple dance
Kalahrdaya is a social project for the “marginalized”, the poor and oppressed without rights on the margins of Indian society. On the outskirts
of Calcutta, Father Saju George SJ founded a centre for children and
young people from very poor families. Students from near and far are
taught here. No matter the penury, this is all about a future lived in dignity.
Kalahrdaya was established to allow children from disadvantaged Dalit
families (so-called untouchables) to attend school. This work includes,
among other things, education, health training, and religious chaperonage.
The Rosmary Project sponsors the construction of the school at the
­Kalahrdaya Centre. This is not primarily a matter of buildings or stones,
but rather of “investing” in hidden talents. Fostered and encouraged in
this manner, today’s children and youngsters who do not stand a chance
shall, in the future, find new, hitherto closed doors opening.
To come to Father Saju’s lessons is something truly great for the children of Bakeswar,
40 rickshaw minutes from the centre of Calcutta
