Paul Quigley is a UnitingWorld Experience volunteer from Hamilton, Victoria.

Paul is assisting hostels in the Nagari and Palipet districts of the Madras Diocese in developing sustainable agricultural farms, which will supply food for those at the hostels as well as generate an income for future Church projects. In addition, Paul is equipping students in the hostel with English language skills and building their capacity for high level education.

These skills are vital in breaking down class barriers and ensuring that Dalit children receive the same opportunities as their peers.

Since 2007, Paul has undertaken numerous placements in India where his agricultural skills have been used to build the capacity of Church funded hostels. In addition, Paul has worked with hostel children in improving their English language skills. Paul is excited to once again have the opportunity to equip local people in the areas of agricultural development and the English language.
