We just left a small village in Niligris on the border of Kerala and Tamil Nadu where we spent a few days with Emmanuel Sumitran Gnanamanickam and the Niligris-Wynaad Tribal Welfare Society, an NGO serving the tribal people in this region. At twenty-five Emmanuel is a young, motivated, and inspiring man who manages this organization along with a small, dedicated staff that provides basic health care needs to the four different tribal groups that populate this region. We spent our time visiting tribal villages, seeing the programs this NGO manages, and experiencing the amazing care Emmanuel and his staff offer to those in need.

See what Emmanuel had to say about the concept of a global village in the clip below, and look for a short film on Emmanuel and the work of the Niligris-Wynaad Tribal Welfare Society on our site soon.
