Dear Internet Archive Community,
I’ll get right to it: please support the Internet Archive today. Right now, we have a 2-to-1 Matching Gift Campaign, so you can triple your impact, but time is running out! Most can’t afford to give, but we hope you can. The average donation is $45. If everyone reading this chips in just $5, we can keep this website going for free, and free of ads. That's right, all we need is the price of a paperback book to sustain a non-profit website the whole world depends on. For 23 years this has been my dream: for a generation of learners who turn to their screens for answers, I want to put the very best information at their fingertips. We stand with Wikipedians, librarians and creators to make sure there is enduring access to the world’s most trustworthy knowledge. We’re dedicated to reader privacy so we never track you. We don’t accept ads. But we still need to pay for servers and staff. The Internet Archive is a bargain, but we need your help. If you find our site useful, we ask you humbly, please chip in. Thank you.

Together we are building the public libraries of the future.
This library of academic and cultural films features collections from the Academic Film Archive and the Media Burn Independent Film Archive, as well as a selection of documentaries created by Dorothy Fadiman. In addition, films from the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology are presented including those by Watson Kintner who used film to document his world travels, and the popular television show from the 1950s: “What in the World?”
Abhay sings and the other safari guides, Kamal and Kunwar, join in the fun. After a couple of tourists come over, Abhay asks for whiskey. Topics: camp, music, whiskey, globallivesproject, Global Lives Project, glp, globallives
Abhay cooks roti (bread) over a fire and serves it to his tourists, camel guides Kunwar and Kunal and the Global Lives crew. Topics: cooking, roti, campfire, globallivesproject, Global Lives Project, glp, globallives
Abhay and his tour group arrive at the spot where they are camping for the night. Abhay repairs a rope that he uses to tie the forefeet of the camels, and then sets up camp. It's getting dark and cold so Abhay makes a fire. Topics: sand dunes, campfire, globallivesproject, Global Lives Project, glp, globallives
Abhay sets up camp at the new site. He makes tea and cooks pakodas (battered vegetable fritters) before it gets dark. Topics: camp, tea, sunset, globallivesproject, Global Lives Project, glp, globallives

The other camel safari guides, Kunwar and Kamal, let Abhay know their camp is further away and invite him to join them. Camel safari guides typically share provisions and cook together so Abhay packs up and moves his group to the new camp site. Topics: camp, globallivesproject, Global Lives Project, glp, globallives
Abhay and his camel safari group come across some shrubs, where he gives the camels and tourists a rest break. He unloads the camels and they start grazing in the bush. Two other camel guides, Kamal and Kunwar, come by to help Abhay unload and cook lunch. Topics: desert, oasis, rest, globallivesproject, Global Lives Project, glp, globallives
While cooking, Abhay tells stories about India's war with Pakistan. He also talks about the superstitions and religious practices of soldiers, locals and generally in Rajasthan. Topics: camp, pakistan, religion, globallivesproject, Global Lives Project, glp, globallives
Everyone enjoys dinner while Abhay talks to his fellow camel safari guides Kunwar and Kamal about local and personal matters. Abhay breaks out into song now and then. Topics: dinner, singing, globallivesproject, Global Lives Project, glp, globallives
Abhay serves tea and shares details of his family and the local culture with his tour group. They come from southern India but have lived in the United States. Topics: camp, culture, globallivesproject, Global Lives Project, glp, globallives
Abhay cooks dinner and arranges mattresses for his tour group with the help of fellow safari guides, Kunwar and Kamal. There is telephone reception so Abhay calls his boss to make plans for tomorrow when he will take another tour group into the Desert National Park in Rajasthan. Topics: camp, cellphone, globallivesproject, Global Lives Project, glp, globallives
