Besides individual initiatives such as visits to local sick or elderly people, Grandpont House supports overseas projects organised from Netherhall House, a student residence in Hampstead, London [www.nh.netherhall.org.uk]. From 2002 to 200, groups of students from Netherhall took part in a social initiatives in Nicaragua and South Africa. In the summer of 2008 the activity was a project this summer to help Burmese refugee children in Thailand.[www.socialprojects.netherhall.org.uk].
