Sights and spirit

It would be impossible to share all our team has experienced since our arrival in India Jan. 3. But I would like to recount some of the sights and spirit through photographs I have taken:


Touring a school in Porbandar with Shastree Swami Bhanuprakashdashji.


Observing morning exercises at the school in Porbandar, Swaminarayan Gurukul.


Catching sleepy asiatic lions at the Gir Forest.


Witnessing the impact of the Rotary Club of Bhavnagar's Ray of Hope project that provides free education to slum children.


Feeling peaceful at a meditation center just outside Rajkot.


Seeing women work at the limestone factory of my host in Porbandar, Nimish Shah.


Dancing a traditional dance with schoolchildren on the rooftop terrace overlooking Bhavnagar.


Capturing small moments of real life.


Establishing relationships with Rotarians and gracious hosts like the Joshi family.

This does not begin to express what I have experienced but hopefully it gives a glimpse of the tremendous opportunity Rotary has bestowed me.

  2. Fantastic Pictures. Are you getting a job at the limestone quarry? Enjoy every moment of your experience. You can rest when you get back to the Peach State.
