<DIV align=justify><BR><STRONG><FONT color=#0000ff>Article<BR></FONT></STRONG><BR>A man is planning to walk to India without using money, relying on the goodwill of people along the way or working for bed and board. Former businessman Mark Boyle from Ireland aims to end up at Mahatma Gandhi's birthplace after the 9,000-mile trek, which he believes will take him about two and a half years. "I've got some sunscreen, a good knife, a spoon, a bandage... no Visa card, no travelers' checks, no bank accounts, zero. I won't actually touch money along the way." Boyle plans to walk about 15 to 45 miles a day through France, Italy, Eastern Europe, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan before reaching Gandhi's birthplace of Porbandar. Boyle says his journey is to remind people that we are interdependent and that when you <B>chip in</B> to help another person, you create a <B>global village</B>. His first obstacle could come early on when he has to cross the English Channel to France. "I'm going to explain to the guy behind the counter what I'm doing, and say it as passionately as I can.” If that doesn't work, he says he will simply try again and again. Good luck Mark!</DIV>
