Tours of South India
Hosted by the Founding sponsors Of Wheel of Hope David Calvert-Orange and Pamela Nolan
A real chance to see the work of Wheel of Hope and the wonders of South India
First we want you to see Happy Home and experience what we are trying with the limited funds we have to do for the destitute in the area. Our hope is that you will see the value of what we are doing and spread the word back home for others to want to help us… But then we also want you to spend a fascinating and relaxing time enjoying the utter magic of South India.
This is where you will stay!
David and Pamela have had a 4 bed roomed house built with en-suite facilities, a super lounge ….. And small roof garden! There is a plunge pool on the roof. It is in the heart of the most beautiful countryside just a short way from the most fantastic beach!
You will be able to visit fantastic temples, palaces and places of beauty. Our last guests Sylvia and Alan who run a stall at Chesterfield Market insisted we re-wrote this brochure to stress the full nature of your stay. You have chosen to come with us for a very wonderful reason and that is you care deeply about the poor and destitute of the third world and developing countries. BUT … you will also experience a holiday that is tailor made to your requirements as we have the infrastructure to offer you virtually whatever you want, whether you are a single person or family with children. Suresh our Managing Trustee has an extended family of helpers who are able to arrange and facilitate ALMOST anything you wish from fishing ton Ayervedic therapies; to visiting temples, palaces, adventure and wild life parks to trips to some of the most wonderful countryside anywhere in the world such as forests, gardens and game reserves of Ooty and the hill top tea plantations of Munnar. Everywhere from our local beach to the environs of our villa is literally a wonderland and your mode of transport will be our air-conditioned Tata Sumo. Almost the entire cost of your tour apart from the air fare will help the funds of Wheel of Hope …how many holidays directly help the poor?
Guests will see ….
Our outreach programme for the destitute and Happy Home our Tuition and Day Care Centre preventing children from working and giving them an education… Below is our 2008 Christmas party (See our news letter on it).
The cost for two weeks with us in India is a donation paid directly to Wheel of Hope of £500 per person, extra days pro-rata. Every penny of this goes to the Trust funds. We are not a business and the sole purpose of the villa is to show guests our projects. When travelling in the Sumo you pay just 15 rupees per 1km. (about 20p.) also the cost of all meals en route.
You will be expected to book your own flights which will probably cost around £400/£500 depending on season. We will meet you at Trivandrum Airport – about 30 minutes away from the Villa. You will also need to obtain a Visa and Travel Insurance. Evening meals at the Villa (optional) – £5.00 per person – or you may wish to sample the delights of the various restaurants on Kovalam Beach. We hope that all our guests will have a wonderful and enjoyable time (only one rule at the Villa – NO SMOKING) and of course will tell your friends about us and Wheel of Hope Trust Contact David or Pamela for further details.
