Bodytree India was set up in 2004 and registered as a charity in May 2005 by a group of health, human rights and education workers to address issues surrounding access to health care and the disappearing traditional medical practices amongst isolated indigenous communities. Bodytree has established a successful educational programme that trains young people from different indigenous communities to become community health workers and operates programmes of health education for community groups.

Donating Equipment

At Bodytree we have been looking at ways to make our work more effective. We have realised that basic equipment would help us tremendously to achieve our potential in very simple ways. Any help that you may be able to give in the form of acquiring any of the following equipment or a donation towards them would be greatly appreciated.

Our centre is in a remote rainforest area and a second hand jeep would help us transport people coming for care and also goods. It would enable us to travel to different parts of the country to run workshops and teach techniques for treating people from different climatic zones. A film projector would enable us to show students and villagers health education work and demonstrations and to visualise examples of indigenous practices from around the world.

Cost	Equipment
£2000	Second Hand Jeep to be purchased in India
£1500	Solar Panels for electricity
£600	Laptop Computer (our computer has just 'died')
£500	Digital camcorder plus film (our camera again just 'died)
£800	Projector
£200	Mobile Projector Screen
£60	Laminator and accessories (to preserve teaching materials)
£200	5 tape recorders for students to carry out interviews
£150	Music Player with speakers (for the theatre group)
£100	Film editing software (so that we can make our own films)
£400	Solar water heater


	The money raised from today's event will go towards our running costs. Below is a separate list of the things we need to make our programme more effective. Any help would let more people understand and gain the skills and knowledge that we feel everyone is entitled to. Thank you.
