Chris Lowman is headed to India (and Rwanda) to volunteer at the Seva Cafe in Ahmedabad.  (His aim is to hopefully launch a Seva Cafe in Santa Barbara).  The person who booked his travel was really interested in the Seva Cafe concept when Chris explained it to him.  The Travel Agent actually posted about the Seva Cafe on his own blog:

Recently I found about a great project going on in the western Indian city of Ahmadabad by an AirTreks client leaving for his trip: a truly one-of-a-kind restaurant that gives form to the elusive concept of Service. From its inception, Seva Café has been on a social mission: to help the local community by promoting good karma in the form of fine dining. Their restaurant is like none other I've heard of, operating inside values that are true to their community while delivering a social service model that other entrepeneurs can adopt. Theirs is to give back rather than to take profit, to help others rather than to simply serve themselves. A novel idea indeed!
