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

Rating: 5 stars  

Asha is a great example of how the sum can be so much more than the parts. It has been a vehicle for thousands of ordinary people like myself to come together to make a tangible difference. When you come into the organization, the egos are parked firmly at the gate. No role is too important or too small. All are here to contribute their mite in a genuine spirit of Sarvodaya - ‘universal uplift’ or ‘progress of all’ - a realization of the tremendous truth that all of us are connected, and what happens to one eventually affects everybody else.

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

the lives of the children the group works with. I have personally visited a number of the groups that Asha supports across India. These visits reinforced the conviction that children everywhere can blossom if only they are provided the right opportunities

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

watching young people come into the organization and grow with it. Many continue volunteering with the organization even after a decade, while many used this as a launching pad to branch out to a number of social sectors beyond education.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Inspiring. Many take this as seriously as their family or professional responsibilities. You cant ask for more!

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

ensure that thousands of more children get to enjoy their childhood and develop their innate talents.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every week
