Showing support for Claire...

Claire is a friend of mine who is taking part in a Raleigh India expedition and is working very hard to make a difference.
The picture above shows Claire returning from her 19 day aventure in Kerala. The 200km journey takes place in the Western Ghats Mountains, incorporating trekking in the forest, across savannah grasslands and rice paddies, off-road mountain-biking, and river rafting.
She is now off to do a community project which will help poorer families in the village of Gandenahalli to construct their own eco-sanitation facility. The project will improve community health through access to safe drinking water by reducing pollution of the local water sources. Moreover, the units will provide sustainable rich compost every 12 months; a great basis for growing nutritious crops, which, in turn, provide a source of income.

All the best Claire xx
