Review for Asha for Education, Los Angeles, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

To describe it in one line - 'truly wonderful, enlightening & satisfying'. I have been associated with Asha for Education in many different locations (Florida, Silicon Valley & Minnesota). Also as one of Asha's treasurers in the US I get to interact with numerous volunteers in other locations on a daily basis. Its great to see the same passion for the cause shared by so many volunteers irrespective of their location and regular occupations. Rarely would one get to see an organization function so well without any hierarchy. Everybody's voice gets heard irrespective of the amount of time they've been involved in the cause. I admire each volunteer's humility and the sense of responsibility which result into effective action. No task is considered menial or difficult whether it be performing at a concert, selling food/books/calendars, running a marathon or cleaning up a stage or a stadium after an event. Having performed almost all of these tasks myself apart from my regular duties of being a treasurer I have found much joy and satisfaction knowing that a child somewhere gets benefitted by it.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Sandnya Sanwardhan Sanstha, Nagpur which is being supported by Asha for Education. I visited the school run by SSS for mentally challenged children in 2009.
