Hi all!

Reading is the gateway skill that makes all other learning possible-Barack Obama

Education has shaped who I am today. I have been fortunate to be raised by parents who believed in education and did everything they could to guide me in the right direction to have a successful career and family life. I would like to take this opportunity with Asha for Education NYCNJ chapter to raise awareness for education and support all their efforts in India. I am taking this fundraising as a challenge to run my first half Marathon during the Philadephia Marathon weekend this year on November 23, 2024 and am counting on every dollar raised to open up the gateway for many kids in India.

Asha for Education is a fully volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit with 50+ chapters around the world whose mission is to catalyze socio-economic change in India through the education of underprivileged children. You can visit the projects page (https://nycnj.ashanet.org/) to know more about the projects supported by Asha NYCJ chapter.

Please support my cause with generous donation.
