Hi Tornado,
Just wanted to put a little thing in here. I have been to Goa in India and have visited the "Side by Side" school in question. It exists and is/was fully supported by the guys who run the 'moving company' in Japan. (yes, I do have digital photos of myself outside the school and in the school with the kids who attended the school) My wifes cousin helped to run the school there. The rent and teachers salary and cleaner/cooks salary were all paid by the people in Japan.
On a side note: The people from Side By Side International that I met in Goa were not fulltime members of the TFI. It was a project they began after the husband recovered from a very serious illness. (cancer/or large tumor I think)From the UK.
Please understand that I'm not getting personal with you, just clarifying some facts that you've got wrong in the above post.
