President Message
 Mr. Chand Pasha Shaik | A message from our President Wish you all A Happy Pongal/Sankranthi/Vaisakhi and Republic Day BIGHELP FOR EDUCATION is instrumental in designing the future of the underprivileged children in India, and it’s possible only through the tireless efforts of our volunteers and unconditional support of our donors. Sponsoring a child is in itself sponsoring a life. A twinkle in the eyes of these children today ensures the beaming future of the nation. I am amazed with what we have accomplished so far since founding the organization in 2002 and proud to see so many likeminded people and donors supporting the cause. I am so proud of our achievements, donors, volunteers and of what we are accomplishing together. |
In the year 2013 we have strengthened the local participation and mobilized community support in 5 chapters in USA as well as at our 28 projects in India. While we continue improving the quality of our current programs and maintaining our administrative expenses at below 5% level, a new program National Merit Scholarships has been introduced in India and implemented successfully this year. Initiatives like YouthHelp, GreenHelp and Experience Exchange programs have provided a platform for children in India and USA that make them partners in the educational awareness programs.
Bighelp is expanding and we are very fortunate to find dedicated volunteers who share our vision and have taken initiative to forward the goals and ideals of our organization all over USA. To help with the organizational responsibilities in our flagship chapter of Greater Boston area, we now have a dedicated executive team. With great pleasure, I am happy to introduce the Boston chapter Mrs. Sandhya Bommaraju-President, Mrs. Deepthi Gora- vice-president and Mr. Jagadeeswara Nagalamadaka - Secretary. I have full faith in their leadership, confident about their commitment towards contributing to Bighelp cause, and wish them all the success in organizing today’s event and years to come.
All leadership positions in USA and India, including my position, at Bighelp are volunteer positions. It helps us keep our administrative expenses low, while having very qualified and committed people running our programs. Thanks to all our board members, our executive vice-president Mr. Amar Jayam, our web master Mr. Vijay Panchakshari, our team in India, entire Boston team, all leads, all volunteers and supporters for making Bighelp a success story. We invite all noble souls to join hands in this endeavor and we continue to look forward working with many more volunteers for the betterment of underprivileged children in coming years.
Our vision is to ensure quality education for every child in India, and I look forward to your continued support.
Let us sponsor a child! Let us adopt a school! Let us strive to brighten the future of our future generation, our children.
-Chand Pasha Shaik, Founder & President, Bighelp For Education
