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)
Warm Regards

Syam. I dont know whether I sould thank you for the all the appreciation you heaped on me on your blog.
Today, I had the opportunity to meet a Low Vision cum Autistic boy in Sivananda home for the disable, Jeera, Secunderabad. This is the first time that I am dealing with a person with multiple disability. we have to create awareness among the society to deal with disabled people in their natural environments. They should be integrated into normal society. If the differently abled feel only rehabilitation home/ hostels are the way out, then we cant move much in this direction. Then the differently abled become a community by itself and will have mental barriers integrating with normal society. Even the normal society lacks skills dealing with differently abled. So, orienting the society is need of the hour. I hope in your training session, you will have a word about inclusive society.
All the best.
