British Sikh Ravi Singh regularly risks his life to give aid and supplies to people in need in some of the most dangerous parts of the world. Some may ask- why would someone risk their life to help people they don\u2019t even know? The answer to that is selfless service, a practice in the Sikh faith known as seva. Sikh temples, or Gurdwaras, serve free vegetarian meals to everyone regardless of race, religion or social status. Ravi Singh has dedicated his life to follow the teachings of the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, and do seva where it\u2019s needed the most.<\/p>\n
17 years ago, Ravi decided to revisit his Sikh faith in the mid-90\u2019s after he discovered that his childhood friend was killed through torture in 1989. As a result of his new connection with Sikhism, he started Khalsa Aid. Now, him and his Khalsa Aid team leave their families behind every few weeks to put themselves on the front line and travel to various parts of the world where their help is needed the most.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat although these journeys are dangerous, it\u2019s worth the sacrifice. It\u2019s the calling from within\u201d -Ravi Singh<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
