Purpose Prize is awarded to men and women over the age of 60 for making a difference in the lives of others in the U.S and globally. I was awarded this prestigious prize in 2008 for the work I do with my daughter under the ASSET India Foundation banner.
this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Purpose prize and the organizers have invited six prize winners including me to be on a panel to address a conference of 250 attendees in Los angeles on Tuesday November 13th. The focus will on encouraging retirees/seniors to staya tive through involvement with the younger generation to make this a better world.
i will be leaving for India on November17th for two weeks. In. Hennai, I will be meeting with Oscar winning music director A.R.Rahman and his team. The purpose will be to explore the enrollment of gifter sex trafficking survivors in his internationally famous music school. I will also be visiting ASSET Program centers in Hyderabad.
