Podcast - the singing begins at the adivasi school in Gudalur

Submitted by Nathalie McDermott on November 22, 2006 - 05:17.

The school that ACCORD set up with the adivasis was a very relaxed and happy place with kids from 5 different tribes learning adademic subjects as well as art, crafts and tribal history and culture.  To find out more about Vidyodaya, click here.

They also learn English at the school - they speak 8 languages - and I tried to teach them a ninth, Gaelic, which they picked up with frightening ease... Also, featured in this podcast, is the famous 'Monkeys versus Donkeys', Unltd's lasting contribution to the children of southern India!

Podcast - Gudalur - ACCORD and the tribal hospital

Submitted by Nathalie McDermott on November 22, 2006 - 05:17.

We left the Green Hotel in Mysore for bamboo huts in the jungle near Gudalur.

Our first visit the next day was to the tribal hospital set up by Accord.  Apart from the doctors, the hospital is run entirely by members of the tribal community for the tribal community.
