WELCOME

 Dear Friends,

 It’s as Khalil Gibran said, “Progress lies not in enhancing what
 is, but in advancing toward what will be.”

 At Akshaya Patra, we are constantly working for advancement
 towards a future with lesser food insecurity and higher literacy
 rates. Our vision is that no child in India shall be deprived of
 education because of hunger. And we appreciate your support
 in advancements towards that vision.

 By attending our Central Region, Partnerships for Progress, virtual gala this evening, you
 demonstrate the shared unity and partnership we share. I personally thank you for joining us
 as we have an exciting evening ahead full of inspiring speakers, profound discussions, and
 delightful entertainment.

 None of this would have been possible if it were not for our dynamic and enthusiastic
 Chapter teams, Youth Ambassadors, and dedicated staff members, who continue to support
 Akshaya Patra and its mission to alleviate child hunger.

 Tonight lets us come together, whether it be donating, supporting, or advocating for
 Akshaya Patra, so that we can instill a spark of hope in the hearts of our children for a better
 tomorrow full of endless possibilities.

 Yours in Service.

 Rajiv Jain
