Iwould like to quote a old hymn
Kenneth Maginnity on his journey through India on a vintage Royal Enfield, a legendary motorcycle
"This is a journey I have dreamt of for a many years, the time has come to stop dreaming and start riding. In May 2012, I will fly to Delhi, India to begin my journey.
I'll be riding approximately a 6000km/3500mile across India, from Delhi to Kolkata. Along the way I will be traveling through Kashmir, on to Rajasthan, back to Delhi, over the Ganges River, up to Kathmandu and end my journey in Kolkata
I am excited... I can't wait to see the breath taking scenery, to connect with the Indian people along the way, to eat the exotic foods and experience the fascinating Indian culture."
You may not be able to ride along with Kenneth, but you can be a part of the journey by contributing to his efforts to End Poverty. See the Cause page for more details.
You can also read about his adventures on Facebook or follow him on Twitter.
The Cause
The journey is only one part of the adventure, more important than the journey, are the people of India.
“I was born in Australia, received a great education and the opportunity to choose a career of my choice. A large majority of the people of India are not as fortunate. I learned that most people in rural India live on less than a dollar a day. Imagine trying and raise a family on such a small amount of money. This usually means that education is not a priority and many of the children are left to beg in the streets. As these children grow into adulthood, with no education…..there have limited job opportunities. It is a vicious cycle, one that is hard to break.”
As he began planning this journey, Kenneth wanted to do more than have an adventure in India, he wanted make a difference? He has partnered with an organization calledENDPOVERTY.ORG. They are a worldwide organization with a vision to make a difference by empowering people to lift themselves out of
ENDPOVERTY.ORG’s main focus is micro-financing. They work with people in poverty across the globe providing small loans, business training and community development programs through a network of locally-led organizations to equip poor families to improve their lives. See their website (www.endpoverty.org) for more details about the organization.
** “All the funds raised will go to aid the people of India who are living in poverty”.
I am a private chef and I have been for over 10 years, it has been a life of ease and convenience. I have had the opportunity to travel the globe, to see many wonderful places and meet many amazing people. In some of these places I have seen severe poverty and in other places opulent wealth. I have met many people that want to make a difference but didn’t know how to do it, so...they, including myself ended up doing nothing. I am just a guy that wants to make a difference; I can’t just stand on the sideline and watch any longer.
I have dreamt of making this trip across India for many years. I know it will be very challenging but I am very excited to take on this adventure. So, I decided to look for a way to fulfill my dream and to make a difference in the lives of the people of India. I did some research, made a few phone calls and partnered with endpoverty.org and started my journey to make a difference. The organization is impacting the lives of people living in poverty across the globe..…including India. I decided to help to promote their organization and the great work they are doing in India as I ride across the country.
I have already spoken to many people who are excited about what I am doing and would love to lend a hand. These are people that want to make a difference but didn’t know how, now they are supporting the journey and endpoverty.org. The main reason for this ride is to make a difference in the lives of the people of India that are living in poverty, people who have not been as fortunate as I have. I want to do something worthwhile. If you feel the same, please stop bywww.endpoverty.org/Kenneth and lend a hand. Thank you.
