" A little bit of simple
some rayes of joy
and a touch of wisdom
shared with all
who live under the sun
and breathe with trees...
Is that not called
abundant life? "

FOUNDERS
Karan Juyal and Lieke Hulshof founded Adara in April 2021.
​
Karan grew up in Pauri. As a boy he walked to school, playing and running across the farms in his free time. Later he moved to the city Dehradun. He studied engineering and taught himself music, English and yoga. Later he performed as a solo-musician, organised hiking tours and worked in a homestay.
​
Lieke grew up as a Dutch girl with comfort around her. She has lived in a variety of countries, studied Social Geography, explored painting and poetry, worked in Tanzania for Justdiggit (an NGO that restores landscapes to mitigate climate change) after which she decided to go to India for a course in organic farming.
​
Their different backgrounds and qualities help for common dreams and visions. Karan is the main connector between ideas and local people. He handles logistics and communications on the ground. He ensures that local skills, know-how and resources are well implemented. Lieke takes up international and organisational networking. She focuses on fundraise, promotion and collaboration. Together they work on long-term vision and plans and make decisions for the programs.
PEOPLE OF ADARA
Adara is being built with local and international community. Different Nepalese families are involved, some residing at Adara. The position of many Nepalese in India has scope for improvement. We provide adults with work opportunities in the homestay and garden while children receive tuition. There are also collaborations with neighbours and skilled workers. Lastly, there is a global community connecting with us through volunteering, financial support and following our content.
We are looking forward to collaborate with more organisations and people in future.
