22、Rajendra Singh is considered a hero in the state of Rajasthan, India, for single-handedly saving five rivers that had been dried up for decades.
Singh, who studied Ayurvedic medicine at college, had always dreamed of becoming a farmer. So when he moved to Rajasthan's Alwar district in 1985, he was interested in curing not just his people, but also the region's ecosystem.
Singh noticed that most villagers had left their homes after the local Arvari River had dried up, and the only people who remained were either too old or too poor to move elsewhere. Singh, driven by a strong desire to help the villagers, took on the task of bringing water back to those lands.
For two years, Singh worked tirelessly, building johads (rainwater storage tanks built with stone, dirt, or whatever materials are available) and checking dams that didn't result in much success. Local elders laughed at him, but he continued working with enthusiasm. And his enthusiasm proved infectious-seeing he was sincere in wanting to help bring water back to their lands, the locals soon began to give money and offer suggestions on appropriate locations to build more dams and johads.
Finally his strategy worked. It wasn't long before the Arvari River came back to life, along with four other rivers. People who had abandoned the districts slowly began to move back home, returning to their traditional way of life.
Inspired by his success, Singh runs a non-profit organization called Tarun Bharat Sangh (TBS), through which he helps thousands of people solve problems of water shortage. Since the 1980s, TBS has built over 4,500 johads that collect rainwater in 850 villages in 11 districts in India.

23、There is a tread in travelling that is sweeping the nation— it’s being called voluntourism. Foreign destinations are attracting American citizens who want to sightsee, while at the same time engage in community service.
Photos on a wall are of recent visits to an orphanage(孤儿院) in India. It’s a trip Jim Inners first made after looking a more meaningful way to see the world. Through the Austin-based Miracle Foundation, Inners has traveled to India three times as part of a growing trend called voluntourism, which combines foreign travel with charity work.
“You’re living. You’re not just sending a check to help somebody but you have a little girl, a little boy. You’re their life line to a new life.” said Inners
Silicon Labs co-founder Nav Sooch recently raised money to build a village for orphans in India and has traveled there several times. He says it’s possible to sightsee and serve the needy.
“I think it would be a shame to go to India and not see the Taj Mahal. It’s a wonderful place and I think you can have that as well as the real interaction with real people.” said Sooch.
“We’ve had all ages. We’ve had from 21/2 with a family all the way up to an 82-year-old and that’s the beauty of these trips.” says Barbara Joubert. She plans the 9-day journeys on behalf of the Miracle Foundation. She says it appeals to those who want to give back. “So the most basic work or what you’re doing there is loving the kids and it’s not hard.” said Joubert.
“Spending time with all these kids has been wonderful.” says Inners. Voluntourism will take Jim Inners back to “Pinky”, the girl who calls him Papa Jim.
