Message from Our Team

Growing up in America with Indian parents, we realized early on that we were blessed to be born into a privileged family.

The sights and sounds of India always inspired us. The vibrancy of the people, the entrepreneurship of the small street vendors, the can-do attitude of people to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds touched our souls. On multiple trips to India, we saw the pain and suffering of the poor and underprivileged due to poor health conditions, malnutrition, inadequate drinking water, and lack of child education. We made it our mission to help provide the underprivileged with resources and opportunities to achieve the health benefits and education that we have been lucky enough to receive.

As we continued to grow, we broadened our outreach to vulnerable populations across different communities in India as well as local communities close to home in need of basic resources. Additionally, in our own country in the United States, especially during the pandemic, we witnessed wide gaps in how people understood one another as human beings perpetuating widespread mental health challenges, stigmas, and sociocultural barriers to communication. This prompted us to research and create blogs and podcasts unraveling the complexities of human nature and why we do the things we do. In this turbulent world, being able to co-exist and enhance unity and compassion without suppressing different cultures and viewpoints enable us to be more tolerant, accepting, and forgiving to ourselves and others.

Come join us on this journey to do our bit and make the world a better place for all humankind.

Sincerely,

Serena Hirani, Rohan Hirani, Gaurav Belani, and Sia Belani
