My Nonprofit Reviews

The knack to work towards the education of underprivileged children was inculcated within me during my school days via the literacy program.Little did I know that the values and knowledge that was imparted to me about empowerment via education would become an integral part of my life. Circumstances, the need of the hour and academic deadlines did not allow me to think about the aforementioned values after school. The inner passion and thought was rekindeled only after my husband(more aptly my faincee during those days) relocated to US for his studies.Asha for Education Cornell University chapter motivated him to work for the cause. He became an active volunteer of Asha since 2002. Since then many of our long-distace tele conversations ended up speaking about Asha and directly or indirectly as you may inerpret I became a silent supporter of Asha since 2002. After relocating to US in 2005 I volunteered to work as a web master for Asha Cornell chapter. Slowly my involvement with Asha increased and currently I am one of the board member of the organization. Presently, since 2008 I am coordinating the publicity and public relation activites of the organization. Asha in Indian language means 'HOPE'.The flames of 'HOPE' have helped the organization to grow from 3 volunteers in 1991 to over 1000+ volunteer in 2009.. The biggest challenge as well as achievement of Asha for Education is its volunteers. Volunteers of Asha are located across the globe. None of the volunteers are employed by Asha for Education. Dedication is the backbone while determination and passion is the driving force towards the sustenance and growth of the organization.
