AKSHAYA PATRA CENTRAL REGION VIRTUAL GALA

Dear Friends,

It’s as Khalil Gibran said, “Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.”

At Akshaya Patra, we are constantly working for advancement towards a future with lesser food insecurity and higher literacy rates. Our vision is that no child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger. And we appreciate your support in advancements towards that vision.

By attending our Central Region, Partnerships for Progress, virtual gala this evening, you demonstrate the shared unity and partnership we share. I personally thank you for joining us as we have an exciting evening ahead full of inspiring speakers, profound discussions, and delightful entertainment.

None of this would have been possible if it were not for our dynamic and enthusiastic Chapter teams, Youth Ambassadors, and dedicated staff members, who continue to support Akshaya Patra and its mission to alleviate child hunger.

Tonight lets us come together, whether it be donating, supporting, or advocating for Akshaya Patra, so that we can instill a spark of hope in the hearts of our children for a better tomorrow full of endless possibilities.

Yours in Service.

Rajiv Jain
