James Harvey Memorial School, Nawabganj
The McCabe family have a history in India dating back to 1921 when Alistair McCabe’s grandfather, George, travelled to India as a missionary with the Regions Beyond Missionary Union. Alistair’s father, also George, served on the mission field at Dr Graham’s Homes in Kalimpong. His brother Andrew, also followed in their father’s footsteps, and is still serving in India, and is on the board of six Christian schools including the James Harvey Memorial School in Nawabganj. These schools have a combined total of over 9,000 children. The Revd Andrew McCabe was awarded the MBE in 1991 for missionary work in India.
Anand Niwas Boys Home
Andrew’s special interest is the Anand Niwas Boys Home attached to the school at Nawabganj where up to 200 boys aged 5-18 are nurtured and given the chance of a bright future. McCabe Pilgrimages have adopted the Boys Home as a special project and contribute half of the ongoing running costs.
The monthly budget of the home is £8,000 and The McCabe Educational Trust contributes half of this amount in a regular and sustainable way guaranteeing eighty of these children a home for the present and prospects for their future. Please consider supporting this very special work. Nawabganj is in a very remote, rarely visited corner of India and the Boys Home relies totally on support from us and others like us.
