Primary school pupils and staff at one of the most technologically advanced schools in Wales are reaching out to some of the world's poorest children.
At the high-tech Casllwchwr School near Swansea they use touch screen technology to watch images of a wholly different classroom experience.
From leather swivel chairs and an air conditioned classroom they saw a Sky News report about the struggle of poor children in Delhi to gain an education.
The report highlighted the efforts of shopkeeper turned teacher Rajesh Kumar who has set up a makeshift school under a bridge in the national capital.
He helps around 80 children, who sit on foam placed on the rubble as Delhi's transit system clatters above their heads. A wall is painted to form a blackboard.
In Wales Simon Pridham, the executive head teacher of Casllwchwr Primary sent out a tweet asking for help with fundraising and has had a huge response across Wales, including major sporting organisations.
He said: "Basics like pens pencils, exercise books, clothes school bags are lacking.
"We can do that, that is quite straightforward to get.
"I think it is also important to help the guy who is the shopkeeper who is doing his best.
"We want to take some professionals, some teachers out there a small group of perhaps four or five."
A number of fundraising schemes are under way and the children are right behind the efforts to improve conditions for the Delhi children.
Pupil Jade Bailey said: "We have iPads and iPods and all different stuff that they don't have.
"So I would really like to help them by donating pencils, pens, coats and different clothes and shoes for them."
Nathan Jameson said: "It is unbelievable how we have loads of things to help us learn. They hardly have anything."
Eleri Thomas added: "I am also quite bothered. As soon as I saw that I thought I really want to help them."
They hope to raise thousands of pounds and send their valuable items directly to the children under the bridge.
