Sudarshan Thirumalai

“He was only ten years old. Effortlessly weaving through the heavy traffic, while going from car to car trying to sell flowers. I could imagine his familiarity with the traffic patterns at the stop light came with hours of practice every day. The risk as well worth the little money he made from his job, as it would help feed him and his family. At the time I could only feel bad for him, and maybe buy the flowers he was selling, but ultimately I realized that I would have just caused the problem to become worse. This was only one such instance that I have seen, as I have visited India over 20 times throughout my life, encompassing a total of 2 years there. Seeing numerous children in different parts of the country work from a very young age not only made me feel lucky, but also sparked an attitude for change in me…”

Phoenix Arizona Youth Chapter

October 10, 2018/in Meet our Youth Ambassadors /by Hector

“The Akshayapatra Youth Chapter has been in operation for the last 4 years. On the 31st of Jan 2016 the youth group organized a Fundraising Walkathon at the KIwanis park between 9 AM and 11AM. A lot of planning and hard work went into making this event a success. Many different ways were used to create awareness and encourage people to sign up for the event such as flyers at stores and school bulletin boards, e-mail invites, paperless post invitations and word of mouth information.”

Prateek Pinchi

October 10, 2018/in Uncategorized /by Hector

Education is the best method for propelling both local and global awareness and development. However, education is not a possibility for everyone, mostly due to economic status. This is where Akshaya Patra comes in. Akshaya Patra, with your help, allows underprivileged children in India who wish to pursue their education but may not have the means to do so, to follow their dreams.

Shreya Yaramosu

October 10, 2018/in Meet our Youth Ambassadors /by Hector

My passion towards this goal, inspired me to seek organizations within our community that would fully match my collections. I reached out to friends and families that worked in those organizations and persuaded them to add Akshaya Patra to their corporate giving program. I presented Akshaya Patra’s cause and mission at company’s cultural events and functions and was instrumental in utilizing large gatherings to maximize the impact and awareness of the organization.
