The Rotary Dream Team - 2012 See Polio Out. And Build a Dam! International Team Leader Rtn. Elias Thomas - RC Sanford Springvale, Maine, USA India Project Manager Rtn. Sanjiv Saran RC Delhi Megapolis, India

As the world awaits the fulfillment of Rotary’s promise of total eradication of the polio virus, a few states in India are among the last bastions of this crippling disease.

Each year since 2008, the Rotary India Dream Teams have gone right into the heart of the District in the state of . The Rotary Dream Team - 2012 will also participate in a Polio NID (National Immunization Day) in the Mewat district (Haryana). Our focus will be on the villages of Pinagua, Tair, Punahana and Bisroo, where the latest polio case had been reported as recently as January 2010. We will not only participate in administering the drops to village children, but also advertise the message that it is critical for parents to bring their children for the drops. Unfortunately, large sections of the local population here still resist all efforts to get them to bring their children to the polio booths. Our focus is high on targeting the most backward, most resistant populations where the virus is most rampant. As the booths are thickly spread out in these villages, the number of children coming up to any one booth is not as concentrated as, say, a booth in the heart of a slum area in the capital city of Delhi - but the need for our effort is far greater here.

The Water Conservation Project: Build a dam! These four days of the trip may well be the most memorable. We shall work "hands-on" to build a check-dam in the state of Rajasthan! The dam will help about 5 surrounding villages to increase their annual crop yield by 50 percent, by retaining the considerable amount of monsoon rain water that flows away every year. We built our first dam in this area in Feb. 2010, and the resulting catchment in the monsoon months (July -August 2010) was hugely successful and benefecial.

The level of physical fitness required to enjoy this activity is no more than that of a normally active person, and since we will be working in tandem with local foremen and labor teams, prior experience or expertise in construction is not required. Previous teams of Rotarians on similar projects with us have been pleasantly surprised at how much they could achieve, and how easily and enjoyably.

We will stay at the dam project site in an exclusive tented camp specially put up for our team. The tents are in the Swiss Cottage style, with two beds and an attached WC (western style with flush), shower, wash basin, running hot & cold water. This is a unique opportunity to live and work with the real, Eternal India: rustic, curious, warmly welcoming, a collage of timeless pastoral scenes.

Background: Detrimental effects of developmental activities on water and biological resources have lead to severe land degradation in this area, which in turn has weakened the ability of the community to depend on their environment for their livelihoods. As the environmentalists predict, the problem of fresh water supplies is likely to be the most important and critical issue of the 21st century.

The major objective is construction of a new water harvesting structure (check dam) to improve water availability and combat drought and flood problems for five villages in this area with a combined population of 15000 apx. It will trap the monsoon rain water which otherwise flows down and away as it gushes down from the Aravali hill ranges. Due to poor vegetative cover on these slopes the soil does not have water holding capacity. The dam will prevent aquifer degradation and surface water depletion, and this in turn will lead to:  Recharge of ground water and lift water levels in the wells.  Make drinking water available to community during summer months in their own villages.  Make drinking water available to cattle and other animals.  Assure irrigation in summer months and thereby increase the annual crops from 1 per year to 3 crops per year, including vegetable crops which are water intensive.  Check the distress sale of milch animals by increase in the green cover.

DESTINATION HIGHLIGHTS

The Dam Project: As we approach Rajasthan, we will find stretches of golden sand & low, rocky hills dotted with magnificent fortresses. Occasional camel-caravans share the roads. Their riders wear the colorful turbans & fierce moustaches of the fabled Rajput clans. Erstwhile princes still live in splendor, and peasants still bow to the descendants of their former rulers. Rajasthan retains the Romance of the former kingdoms of "Rajputana": in its magnificent palaces and forts, and in the proud bearing and colorful dress of village folk who retain the rustic grace of their ancestors. Our Dam site is located in the buffer zone of the Sariska National Park, which was originally the hunting reserve of the royal family of Alwar. The reserve covers an area of 800 square kilometers, 480 square kilometers of which form the core area of the national park. The Northern Aravali Hills dominate the skyline with their mixture of sharp cliffs and long narrow valleys. The broad range of wildlife here is a wonderful example of ecological adoption and tolerance.

Standing on a steep front of the Aravalli Hills, looks out on a wide panoramic view of the plains below. The early morning sounds in Sohna are dominated by the call of peacocks and the ringing the temple bells from the nearby town. Sohna is famous for its natural hot springs, and a basic sulphur and steam bath facility is available at the sulphur spring temple. A walk in the town reveals a warm intermingling of the rich Old Heritage of India with the sometimes garish New.

The Polio NID area: Mewat, land of the Meos, has its genesis in its tribal inhabitants, the Meo tribals, who are agriculturalists. The area is a distinct ethnic and socio-cultural tract. The Meos, who trace their roots to the early Aryans of North India, call themselves Kshatriyas and have preserved their social and cultural traits to a surprisingly large extent, unlike the other tribes of nearby areas. During the regime of the Tughlak dynasty in the 14th century A.D., these people embraced Islam but till today, they have maintained their age-old distinctive ethno-cultural identity. Only one in ten Meos is able to properly read and write.

Trip A offers a grand panoroma of the fabulous art and sculpture produced by the ancient civilization of northern India. It will also present many of the amazing, colorful facets of life on the streets and in the countryside that make up the ever-changing, ever-lasting kaleidoscope of India.

The fortifications surrounding Jaipur give it a medieval atmosphere. The delicate honey-comb design of the ‘Palace of Winds' glows in the light of the setting sun. Quaint bazaars thrive around this edifice. High above the city, the towers and domes of the Amber Palace are reminiscent of scenes from a fairy tale. Indeed, Jaipur

The Rotary Dream Team - India 2012 See Polio Out. And Build a Dam! International Team Leader Rtn. Elias Thomas - RC Sanford Springvale, Maine, USA India Project Manager Rtn. Sanjiv Saran RC Delhi Megapolis, India embodies all that you may have heard about the pomp and pageantry of India, its Maharajahs and their fabulous palaces, and the marvelously colorful drama of Life on its bustling streets.

At Agra, the Mogul Emperor Shah Jehan presented the world it’s most magnificent monument to conjugal Love. A colossal, perfectly proportioned mass of marble, the Taj Mahal is literally a jewel. It was fashioned over 17 years by 20,000 craftsmen & laborers. From a distance, it seems to float, like a fantastic mirage, upon the banks of the River .

Delhi: At the time when Bombay and Madras were just being established, Delhi had already been the capital of an empire for 500 years past. No fewer than eight cities have been built side by side on this site over the centuries. The city as it stands today has been built by Hindu, Muslim and British builders, and in a few minutes you can be transported from the neo-classical architecture of the elegant garden city of New Delhi to the narrow, twisting lanes that surround Chandni-Chowk in the old city.

Trip B will take an overnight train from Delhi to the ancient pigrimage town of Haridwar. Drive 2 hr to our tented camp on the River Ganges at Shivpuri. After shower and breakfast. drive for about an hour to the Kunjapuri temple, our starting point for a day trek. Set amidst lush green forest, Kunjapuri offers fantastic and glorious views of legendary Himalayan giants like Banderpoonch, Chaukhamba, Nanda Devi, and Trisul etc. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Durga. On returning to our camp, if time permits, enjoy kayaking on a calm stretch of the river.

According to Hindu Legend, the holy Ganga (or Ganges) was a goddess in the heavens who was persuaded by Lord Shiva to descend gently down through his giant locks of hair, to save the thirsty Earth. This is now a popular river in India for river running because it offers rapids with varying levels of difficulty (Grade II to IV) that can provide the thrills and spills of river rafting to both the novices and the experienced.

Reputed as the most professional outfitter in river running in India, our partner Snow Leopard Adventures is known for its utmost emphasis on safety. Snow Leopard Adventures runs its Ganga River programmes from the deluxe Leopard Beach Tented Camp. Set in the foothills of the Himalayas by the Ganga River amid a thick Sal forest, the camp is located 16 km from the temple town of Rishikesh. The camp is known for its excellent cuisine, efficient staff, hygiene and an impeccable safety record. Accommodation at the camp is in comfortable safari tents on a pristine beach by the Ganga River.

We will enoy a 3-4 hour rafting trip along a pristine 25 km stretch of the Ganges, with 10-12 exciting but easily negotiable rapids in the care of world-class experts. Reaching the venerable Parmarth Ashram, we will join the evening arti on the Ganges, a moving experience.

Situated on the pretty banks of the holy river at the point where it exits from the Himalayas, Rishikesh is a quiet and peaceful town that attracts pilgrims from all over India and the world. Rishikesh gained international fame when the Beatles stayed here for a few months. Time stands still here, as the eternal waters of the river emerge from the foothills of the mighty Himalayas. The river passes ancient hermitages where Hindu sages and their disciples live a life devoid of luxuries and rich in meditation and introspection, then past temples and ghats where strange rituals are performed, finally entering the plains to begin its long journey across the North-Indian plateau towards the Bay of Bengal. Rishikesh is also the "Yoga Capital of the World", a good place to study Hindu philosophy and religion in all its aspects.

The Optional Extension to Exotic Nepal! (This Optional extension trip is available for participants inTrip A as well as Trip B)

The kingdom of Nepal is an exotic country cradled by the magnificent Himalayas. It has more than 100 peaks over 20,000 ft. straddling its border with Tibet, including Mt. Everest. Within a distance of 30 miles as the crow flies, the terrain descends southwards across terraced farmlands to an elevation of apx. 250 ft. at the rim of the fertile Indo- Gangetic Plain. Wild Life “sightings” in this paradoxical land encompass the legendary Yeti in the Himalayan snows, as well as the very real tigers that roam the low-lying Terai regions. The colorfully dressed people of this country are of diverse descent. Their culture is rich with ancient arts and crafts, music and dance.

Katmandu is a quaint town cradled by the magnificent Himalayas. The temples of Hanuman Dhoka are exotic and impressive, and have erotic carvings on the roof struts. A little girl is selected every few years to be the “Kumari” - a Living Goddess. She is worshipped as one till she attains puberty. Katmandu also has the largest Buddhist Stupa in the world at Budhanath. The Hindu Temple at Pasupatinath has superb golden-roofed shrines and huge doors sheathed in heavy-worked silver. Surrounding hills provide close views of Himalayan giants. Boudhanath, 5 miles east of Katmandu city is one of the largest stupas in the world. It stands with four pairs of eyes scanning the four cardinal directions, keeping watch over human prosperity and righteous behaviour. The stupa is built on an octagonal base inset with prayer wheels. The shrine is ringed by the simple homes of Lamas (Buddhist monks).

The hill town of Pokhara is situated near a beautiful lake formed by the Sethi Khola river at about 3000 ft. It is noted for its tranquil atmosphere and the beauty of the surrounding countryside. Three out of the ten highest mountains in the world can be viewed very closely from Pokhara.It offers stunning views of giant eight- thousander peaks such as the five Annapurnas, Manaslu and Dhaulagiri. In the middle of the Annapurna range, the Machapuchare ('Fishtail') with twin peaks close to 22000 ft can be seen. This is one of the few places in the world to provide such a dramatic view in a sub-tropical setting. In no other place do mountains rise so quickly. In this area, within 15 miles, the elevation rises from 3000 ft to over 23000 ft. Due to this sharp rise in altitude the area of Pokhara has one of the highest precipitation rates of the country. Even within the city there is a noticeable difference in the amount of rain between the south of the city by the lake and the north at the foot of the mountains. The climate is sub-tropical but due to the elevation the temperatures are moderate. We will enjoy walking tours around this quaint town and around the Pokhara lake, with its shimmering reflections of the gigantic mountain peaks towering above the town.

Dhulikhel offers breathtaking panoramic views of another section of the Himalayas, stretching from Langtang to Everest and beyond. We shall also delve into the heart of the old town where you can loose yourself to time in the tangle of cobbled lanes. discover ancient houses with sagging wooden frame works, intricate carvings, hidden temples and thriving market squares. Discover the color and culture of this vibrant place as you wander past old men smoking pipes, women hand spinning wool, traditional wood carving workshops and hidden gardens through ancient archways.

Bhaktapur has long been called the City of Devotees, and has recently emerged as Nepal’s Cultural Capital. Because of the city’s medieval architecture, its rich tradition of ancient music, handicrafts and ritual dance, as well as its present renaissance of vibrant Newar culture, Bhaktapur has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Situated at an altitude of 4500 ft, it is the home of medieval art and architecture. Shaped like a conch shell, the town covers an area of 4 square miles. Pottery and weaving are its traditional industries. The city lies about 9 miles east of Kathmandu. The main square of the city contains innumerable temples and other architectural showpieces like the Lion Gate, a Statue of King Bhupatindra Malla, a Picture Gallery, the Golden Gate, the Palace of 55 Windows, the Batsala Temple, the Bell of Barking Dogs, and a replica of Pashupatinath Temple.
