Longtime Marin volunteer Christine Wright, 46, of Mill Valley will depart for India, Nepal and Tibet on Oct. 12 to assist organizations helping Third World children. Her three-month trip is sponsored by the St. Helena-based nonprofit Wisdom in Action.
Wright will spend November at the Soma Home for Girls in Kolkata, India, where she will teach students English and yoga. She also will teach English at the Buddha's Smile School in Varanasi, which offers primary education to children from slums in northern India.
People wishing to contribute to the effort can do so directly through the Web site for each school. Contact the Soma Home for Girls at www.newlightindia.org and Buddha's Smile School at www.buddhas-smile-school.org.
Palo Alto-based Amistad International also accepts donations for both schools at www.amistad international.org
To contact Wright, call 497-6561 or send e-mail to chriswright200@yahoo.com.
