AN Indian village school is benefiting from clean water thanks to fundraisers in Darlington and their international colleagues.

A three-year effort between Darlington Rotary Club and its twin club in Mulheim, Germany, has proved fruitful for the Tribal Youth Hostel school in Deolapar, in India's Nagpur district.

Half of the £3,200 came from a grant from the Rotary Foundation in America.

The project began after Darlington club member Dr John Turner visited the Rotary Club of Nagpur in August 1998
