An interesting ‘Zoom’ morning meeting for G I Rotarians on Nov. 10. Ravi Bansal, retired Buffalo area Rotarian had used his love of flying (plus owning a small plane) to make a Round The World (solo!) flight to challenge his Buffalo, and India, communities, plus other Rotary groups, to raise funds for an MRI machine at a hospital in Ambala India. The hospital itself is an outgrowth of the local Ambala India Rotary Club starting with a ‘visiting nurse’ project to raise cancer awareness there , then getting local and international grants to create a full, 100 bed, hospital. Ravi’s description of the challenges, thrills, learning, he went thru to accomplish the solo flying RTW feat, meshed with the challenges to raise the funds for the MRI in India.
