I feel lucky and grateful to be blessed with wonderful parents, good siblings, proper education, nice job and lovely family with hard working wife and 2 active sons. I thank God every day for this wonderful life. I also find other avenues to thank him by helping others who are in need whenever possible with the power of knowledge and wealth vested upon me.

I always been charity minded person and always think about doing good cause to the world community. When I was a teenager, I operated a kid’s club and did local charity events in my town Kundrathur, India.

After I started working, I donated funds to school in my hometown to create competitiveness among students in a way to increase the passing rate of the high school. That eventually created interest among local town students to opt to study in our  town school instead of going out for education. I know the difficulties and burdens in going out of town for education. I used to travel 20 miles everyday in a crowded bus to go to school from my 6th to 12th grade because of bad passing rate of my local town high school. So I wanted to boost both students and school teachers moral to make this happen and it worked. The results were amazingly great.  The passing rate of our town High school jumped from 35% to 50-60% in just a year and there were many high scoring students. I was happy about the charity project and I continued for few years which continued to drive the passing rate to attract intelligent kids to the school.

I also volunteered in local charity events like Humanity for Habitant, Boston Marathons, City year, Houston Marathons etc., But for the past 15 years or so,  I have taken up yearly Holiday Charity campaign during Dec and Jan months and collected funds to donate to a non-profit  organization near my town in India. I want to make that as my tradition and working hard to bring families and friends together which helps to feed a cause. Accordingly to me, it is just a small effort but I believe any small thing can still helps to change something in this world.  If you are interested in offering any contribution, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

We been donating the collected charity funds to  Sevelaya for the past 14 years to sponsor kids education and support orphan kids. It is an organization founded by one person Mr. Murali with a vision to provide proper education to poor village kids and orphans. In spite of curriculum, organization and school incorporates the teachings of three great men Gandhiji, Swami Vivekanada and Bharathiyar’s as part of the kids life to enrich their behavior as a foundation for their future. As of now, we sponsoring 27 kids education.  With more help from friends and families towards this year charity campaign, I am hoping to sponsor more kids in coming years.

 

I also started lending via Kiva.org to the needy entrepreneurs around the world. It is new path using micro finance and micro lending strategy to help people who are in need of money to develop their business which in turn help improve their life style.
