  • Bringing Joy to Orphans and Seniors
    Fun and Joy for All Ages

    Nagendra K.S. of Mumbai recently took a personal training and development course from a company called Landmark Education. The course, called the Self-Expression and Leadership Program, focuses on creating a project that makes a difference in some community in the participant’s life. During the program, Nagendra saw that he had a vision to bring happiness, innovation and leadership to his community.

    The community he specifically wanted to impact was that of both children and senior citizens. Both groups deal with unique challenges, often without the support of each other. The project Nagendra created is called “Ullasa”, which means joy in English. His intention was to bring young people and older people together in a way in which they get to celebrate life and provide something valuable to each other. Older people have a huge amount to contribute to children—Their experiences, their stories, their wisdom, their love and affection. Older people also benefit from the youthful enthusiasm of children. Ullasa was designed to bring joy and belonging to both these communities.

    Ed Paul’s Alpine Challenge has come along way in eight years. Formed out of Paul’s participation in Landmark Education’s Self-Expression and Leadership Program, this fundraising cycling event through the hills near San Diego has grown from about 70 riders in its first year to almost 700 in 2008. Money raised for the event goes to charities that benefit kids: Half of this year’s proceeds go to a children’s hospital, while the rest goes to a program for at risk youth. Over the eight years since the program began, over $150,000 has been raised for children’s charities.

    Paul’s Alpine Challenge is aptly named. Although the hilly, rural terrain can provide breathtaking views, not many riders may have the energy to enjoy tme. Riders can choose “easy” 20-30 mile courses, while the more difficult courses are 62 or 72 miles each, with an approximate elevation gain of 7,000 feet. Even the 20 mile ride has about a 2,000 foot elevation gain, according to Paul.

    Each of the four courses follows a similar path. The riders start in downtown alpine and go immediately up a hill that takes them around the Viejas Indian Reservation. The 62-mile and 72-mile rides then continue through Harbison Canyon.
