Alexander Souri, founder of Relief Riders International, visited the Junior and Senior Seminar on the History and Culture of India, taught by Peter Elliston, on Friday, October 22. He spoke about his inspiration in creating the adventure tour-international relief organization, combining his desire to honor his Indian heritage, his desire to help an area of the world that needs it, and his love of riding horses. Relief Riders traverse 250 miles of Indian desert on expeditions to bring goats to villages and families that need them and, in the past, to offer free eye surgery to those who could not afford it.
