Come along as we chronicle in words and pictures a life-changing journey through the heart of Gandhi's India. Within these pages are provided an intimate experience of unique philanthropic travel though parts of India and groups that remain closely associated with the impact and phenomena of Gandhi: in the past, at present, and most importantly, in the future." His was not a comfortable journey, but it changed the world. "He was a delicate and fragile man with glasses and a traditional Hindu loincloth called a dhoti, walked with a bamboo staff, and had a near-toothless grin. His appearance was that of a simple Hindu holy man. But armed solely with terrific bravery and a unwavering dedication to nonviolent resistance, Mohandas Gandhi took on one of the world's mightiest empires. In recent years there has been sizeable growth in philanthropic-based tourism: using travel to give back to those less fortunate. However, the challenge often faced is that choosing a particular travel mission can be quite daunting; prospects for philanthropic tour missions desiring to make a difference often don't know where to begin, or whether their efforts will really have an impact. The concept of "doing good" by "giving back," while engaging in life-changing world travel, is an appealing proposition, but the reality is that we often fail to fully understand our true role as caring people visiting unfamiliar lands and cultures. The dedication of volunteer-abroad type programs, like Peace Corps, Raleigh International and Maximo Nivel and, is laudable, but philanthropic travel fills a different and potentially much wider niche: helping those in need without requiring a long commitment of time. Across the globe, philanthropic travelers are progressively providing monetary resources, time, and talent to increase the wellbeing of less fortunate local and village communities. Gandhi Legacy Tour of India, 'The Book' will lead you on a trek through India, lead by Mahatma Gandhi's grandson and great grandson, to experience an India unknown to most Westerners.
