Naginbhai Jagda receives standing ovation for dressing up as Gandhiji
on the India's Independence Day

 

 

 

 

The Gujarati Senior Center of Plano, Frisco, Allen, and McKinney (in the Dallas, Texas area), USA hosted an event to commemorate India's Independence Day.
As part of the event a costume contest was held. 

Naginbhai and his wife decided to dress up as Gandhiji and Kasturba. Similar to Gandhiji's philosophy in life, their  costume was simple, yet had a profound impact.

 
Appreciative audience

 

As soon as they entered the venue, everybody in the room gave us a standing ovation. An audience of nearly 100 seniors and others were beaming with joy throughout the
entire evening.

Their hearts were overwhelmed with the adulation, respect and attention from one and all - from the moment they walked in until we left three hours later. the entire event
brought a lot of joy and national pride to everyone present.

They were honored to receive the first prize, but the real reward was the joy we brought to so many with our tribute to Bapuji.

Jai Hind!

Foundation For Excellence (FFE) helping students in need

Message from Naginbhai Jagada

Nayan with his mother Urmilaben

We are happy to inform you that our facilitator Shri Prafulbhai Goswami (#F1274) visited the home of a student in a small village named Gajana, near Lalpur,
Gujarat State just to make sure whether we are working as per rules of Foundation For Excellence (FFE), California who is providing scholarships to very needy and bright students.

Name of Student: Patel Nayanbhai Hasmukhbhai

Family: Urmilaben, his mother who became a widow 14 years ago. Father was an alcoholic.

   Nayan has an older brother who is a Computer Science engineer and now works in Pune Status: 4th year Medical student

Scholarship: INR 30,000 from FFE, USA

Village: Gajana, district Lalpur which is approximately 150 km from Rajkot

Population: approximately 2,000

Their story:

When Nayan's father passed away in Unza village,near Mehsana, Nayan was 7 years old. Due to her dire financial situation, Nayan's mother moved

   with her few possessions to her mother's village Gajana, one room in a small home in Gajana village, free house to stay given by her mother but no financial help.

   She makes approximately INR 40 per day and supports her 97 year old mother.

   The young widow worked very hard to put her bright young sons through school and college. She worked in farms carrying items back and forth.

   When Nayan got admission in BJ Medical College based on his academic skills, he also needed money to cover college fee, room, food and other expenses.

He approached us for a scholarship from FFE.

With generous assistance from FFE and blessings from everyone, he will be a doctor in 2 years. His expenses areas follows: food and other living expenses

   Rs.2,800 per month, and college fees Rs.7000 per year.

   Thanks to the Rs. 30,000 scholarship from FFE for Rs.30,000 he is managing his finances well now. He told our facilitator that he hopes to work for the poor

   once he becomes a doctor. He will be the only doctor in his village.

This is a very touching story. We are very happy to mention here that we have reached 40 students' lives so far. They are getting scholarship from FFE and

   the number of students is increasing every year May God Bless this family, FFE and all of you.
