The India Express Newspaper features a two page article on 2011 Karma Enduro Car Rally. Highlighting the personal stories of a number of drivers, the article explains how the money raised is helping charities in India through grant giving organisation, Adventure Ashram. Decking out the cars is a very important part of the rally and drivers Bob Nicholson and Nikki Leader are photographed putting the final touches to their cars whilst explaining to local children why they are doing it. It is a jolly article and a wonderful take on what the Indian Journalist, Shruti Nambiar makes of it all. Click on the image to read the article

children 3-5 years old attending crèches in Kodikanal, Tamil Nadu, benefit from regular health checks thanks to Adventure Ashram supporters. Money raised from Enduro India and Karma Enduro rallies funds ASHRA, Action for Social Health in Rural Areas. Each child’s health is mapped on a chart and signs of malnourishment or ill health are identified immediately and the problems addressed. Early life is critical for growth and education. Being hungry or ill slows down a child’s development dramatically, leading to all sorts of problems in later life. Thank you for giving these children a good start in life.

This year, as part of Adventure Ashram’s relocation project, 17 families committed to leaving their homes in the forest. The project run by Centre of Wildlife Studies (CWS), has enabled the families to settle in new homes on land they own located on the outskirts of the forest. This move has made access to education and healthcare possible. Relocation of this kind can be a sensitive and slow process and it is Adventure Ashram’s grant of £250,000 which has helped ensure success for Dr. Ullas Karanth and his CWS team.
