Adventure Ashram is funding the work of education and welfare charity, Grace Charitable Trust. It is an Indian registered, grass roots charity based in Masinagudi, Tamilnadu run by Solomon Daniel and a board of trustees. Solomon is a local man, well known for his passion and drive to help children take advantage of the opportunities that come as a result of education. Solomon recognised that there are a number of barriers preventing children in his area from attending school. The 3 main barriers were the expense, the lack of transport to and from school and the absence of a parent to help get the children ready for school each day. Solomon set about helping these children access their education.
