Kasinadh Lakkaraju - Born for the Blind

May god bless everyone with abundance of everything in life!!

I am born into a family, where every member believed in helping the needy. Everyone strictly to this principle which cascaded down to all the members in the family. Right from my great great grand father (who worked as Deewan in Vijayanagaram Maharaja's kingdom) - till my generation, each one of our family members spent their entire life dedicated their lives to the poor and needy people.

I am continuing the same tradition and imbibing the same philosophy and principles to my 4 year old daughter - Sai Meghana. On whose name, i have started a charitable trust called SMILE (www.smileforlife.org) (Sai Meghana Institute of Learning & Exploring) on her day of naming ceremony when she was 3 months old .

One more person who influenced me on the social service front, other than my parents, is Mr. Kasinadh Lakkaraju. He is the first person who inspired me in this direction and i would like to start writing in my blog with his reference.

The way he dedicated his life to service, impressed me a lot and inspired me to take some steps in life towards active service to the society in my own capacity.

Of the many selflesss activities he does, i would like to recall few of his. He is a man, 'born for the blind'. He is known nationally within a close circuit of service oriented people. He is doing lot of sevrice to Blind children in Hyderabad in Dar Ul Shifa (blind children hostel), in the form of Manonetra (the eyes of the mind) and also an active volunteer in Seva Bharathi activities.

He organizes and conducts several events across twin cities. His motto is only one thing:

You need not give money. Just join hands with few good people around you. Things will automatically take shape. God will bless everyone and get things done as per his wish.

If you too wish to join hands for a good cause of helping blind people around you - join hands with Kasinadh ji. He is always open to talk, discuss, share and inspire every individual for a good cause.

He can be contacted either through email: klakkaraju@gmail.com or reach him on his mobile: 09849642699 (Hyderabad)

I too can make a difference....

Hello friends

How i can make a positive difference in somebody's life?

What did i do today, which is worth mentioning ?

How, I could have utilized my time better today....We need not have great plans for years to come but if we can spend this minute productively - i think the purpose is lived

Some of these questions haunt me... One evening, finally i sat down and started introspecting myself and looked for people around me who also share same thoughts.

If not me, is there somebody who is doing service in these lines - full time or taking some time out from his / her hectic work schedules...

The same thought promted me to come up with series on "Social Entrepreneurship". I felt i too can make a difference by bringing those people closer to you who are making a positive difference in people's lives in this society. This is my contribution for now

Hope you will appreciate the series and effort that goes into bringing the information to your mailbox...

As and when i come across a heart touching story, i will pen down brief background about the person and the positive difference he / she is making in somebody's life in this society.

It is also appreciated and a great service, if you can send in details about the person who belongs to this category

May glod bless with abundance of everything in life

Warm Regards
