A Life Away from Canals

A Life Away from Canals

About this time last year we were introduced to John Wilson and we  wrote about his "mission" in life.

John operates a self-catering barge in NE France and has been at this for many years.  But as a young
John in 1973 as he began his work.
man just finishing his medical training he found himself in India and found his life work. He began an organization that started as a medical NGO and has grown to offer residence of the Nilgiris Wynaad area education, clean water and more.  To read more about the history of John's work with Nilgiris Wynaad Tribal Welfare Society see this link:  http://www.nwtws.org/history.html

This work continues in India.  John travels back to his "other job" each winter.  There is a good organization there to help him and together they have had many successes. But you and I know that the bottom line is money.  If you can help, I can guarantee that this use of your western resources will be put to good use in a place you and I will never see.  Never see, but there, none the less, with problems that far outstrip anything we can know of in the west.
