My first trip to India was in 1981. While travelling for 2 months, throughout much of the country, there were occasions when I stayed in homes which were connected with an otganization called Servas of which I was a member. The finest introduction possible to India was provided to me through my very dear friernd (and his family), A.B. Baradwai. For the first time I met A.B, Rani, Meenu. and Kapel on that 1981 trip. They very generously shared (as Servas members, too) their home, their lives, and the spirti of Gandhansm with me. We have been together many times since, particularly when I am in India.
Since 1982 I and a few friends have founded a voluntary international aid agency called H.A.V.E (Help A Village Effort) for the prime purpose of supplying safe drinking water wells, mostly bore wells, to desperately needy villages, especially in India. To date we have provided nearly 800 village wells and safe drinking water systems. Much of our funds are raised via our annual Walks For Water,(Through CIDA of the federal Government often H.A.V.E.'s projects are matched by a grant.)
