Fundraising for ATLANTA DREAM MILE 2023

I got involved with Vibha in 2018, with the Dream Mile in the Bay Area. The warmth and passion of everyone who volunteers with Vibha was what really pulled me in, and has kept me here!

Fundraising for improving public education in India really hits home for me — I was lucky enough to attend private schools for the 5 years I lived in India, but I saw a lot of other kids that weren’t as fortunate. I remember desperately wanting to do something to help them, and once I came back to the US, I took this wonderful opportunity to do that. 

Helping improve public education really makes an impact. My grandparents all went to public schools in India, because they couldn’t afford better education, and now, two generations later, I’m amazed at how well they’ve done for themselves, to help us get to where we’re at. Now, sitting in the US, I hope I can do the same for other kids, helping them do better for themselves and their families as well. Thanks for reading, and I appreciate you considering donating to this amazing cause!
