Empathy is deeply rooted in our core.
Given how advanced our society has become in so many ways, there are still too many people who don’t have access to the most basic needs in life. Over the years, we have found ourselves drawn to two prominent causes - hunger and education. We actively participate in the activities of two organizations - Second Helpings Atlanta and Kadam.
If you have some free time and are looking for ways to become more actively involved in your community, we encourage you to contact us or organizations whose purpose resonates with you. Most of them are looking for an extra pair of hands and a little kindness always goes a long way.

Kadam is a full-time school for children without proper educational opportunities. It provides free-of-cost tuition for underprivileged children from the age 6 to 15. Almost all the students come from the slums situated in Hyderabad, India. The first batch of 30 students graduated in 2017 and Kadam continues to sponsor their education and will continue to do so for all the future generations.
