International Centre for Study and Development—located in Valakom, Kerala, India—is a successful volunteer-run social service organization that began in 1982. The members of this UNESCO-affiliated organization include 39 full-time staff members who offer drug treatment and rehabilitation, a home for the aged, family counseling, and continuing education. Each year the Cooperation Circle (CC) organizes events to celebrate the World AIDS Day Campaign, Children's Day, Human Rights Day, and Republic Day. In addition to service programs, they have a Khadhi (Indian cloth) Production Centre that employs impoverished women.
