1We Training Centre in Indian child village
Mahatma Ghandi gave them the name of ‘Harijans’ meaning ‘children of God’. They call themselves ‘Dalits’: ‘the suppressed and broken people’. This population group of casteless people live in the village of Bodhgaya in Bihar: one of the poorest regions in the North of India. They are exploited, humiliated and have no rights. Especially children suffer from this system. The foundation Child Support Bodhgaya is cooperating with 1We to offer these children a future in its child village. 
In the year 2002 Ine Buma-le Blanc travelled to India and followed the footsteps of Boeddha ending her voyage in Bodhgaya. Outside the temple where she stayed she witnessed the treatment of the casteless people in India. Sexually abused She saw children of unmarried mothers who were being posed as foundlings. Children with polio were being abandoned and also children were being sexually abused. At night these same children searched for a place to sleep: a hole they had been digging themselves or a piece of cardboard somewhere on the streets of Bodhgaya. Child support When she returned to the Netherlands Ine decided to follow her heart and founded the foundation Child Support Bodhgaya. In the meantime a child village has been founded. ‘Lord Buddha Home for Children’ gives shelter to fifty to hundred children. In small houses they are actually raised by a ‘mother’. Beside this there is a health centre, a place to pray as well as a recreation room and rooms for the staff. Together with the foundation Child Support Bodhgaya 1We wants to build a learning and professional training centre. In this place the young people are able the learn a profession and build up their own future. 
1We - One World Experience is officially recognised as a charity foundation.
