Trustee Roles
We Need You!
Are you passionate about education? Are you interested in supporting disadvantaged children and communities? Do you have an interest in southern India, and ideas about how to raise funds for a small, volunteer-led charity that is looking for help? The Kanji Project is looking for dedicated volunteer trustees who can join our small, friendly team and support the running of the charity through various roles.
