2.Jawadhu Hills Resource Center
Key Benefits
- Tribal villagers living in very remote areas have access to resources and support
- Places for volunteers to stay so that the area receives volunteer support
- A library with books in Tamil and English
- A computer room with internet access
- Resources to connect villagers with needed assistance
Beyond the villages that surround Tiruvannamalai lie the Jawadhu Hills where 20,000 tribal Indians live in over 200 hamlet villages. This area has been described as stepping back in time. Many villages have no power or dependable clean water. Some cannot be reached by motorized vehicles. Regenboog’s Mobile Clinic now travels to some of these villages, providing much needed medical care to villagers of all ages.
The next step in helping the people of this area is to build a resource center in a central location where all villagers in the area can come. The center will feature a library, a computer lab, a medical clinic, and a room for instruction. The building will also have rooms where volunteers can stay and support the villagers in various ways such as teaching English, and computer, agricultural and technical skills.
