Nominated Charities for EnduroIndia 2009

Adventure Ashram

"The immediate need is for Adventure Ashram to provide medical and educational care and assistance to the remote village communities in the Palani Hill region that surround the mountain hill station of Kodaikanal in Southern India. The need for proper medical facilities in these outlying villages is very strongly felt as some of these villages are 30 - 40 kilometres by road from the nearest hospital and, in such extreme terrain without any transport, in many cases this is 40 kilometres too far..."
