2016 Uplift a Child New Initiatives in USA
June 11th 2016 – Fairfax, Virginia, USA
While living in the United States we have always wanted to do something for our country USA while helping the less fortunate children in India, Congo, Philippines and Nepal. Today, we are very happy to share very special news with our face book friends. We have finally come up with a new chapter which will be impacting the children of USA and significantly changing their lives for a better tomorrow. This idea was actually from a group of high school students from Fairfax, VA. We would like to call them “The Super 5”
Rachana Krishnan, Kurien Thomas, Karishma Srikanth, Elza Thomas, and Nam Kim. We had our first meeting at Priya & Gopal Krishnan’s residence where we spent 2 full hours in brain storming the ideas the group had. Will be putting these ideas into action through Uplift a Child International and guaranteed to impact many lives. Within 3 months, we will be ready and our ideas would be operational. We thank God and thank “The Super 5” team who worked so hard to make this a reality.

We had our 2nd Uplift a Child Career Counseling Event on Friday, May 27th at YMCA, Visakhapatnam, AP, India.

Session 1 for Civil Services, Session 2 for Medical and Sciences, Session 3 for Engineering and Technology and Session 4 for all others. We had specialists from each category to help our children understand what it takes to get to that level and how much efforts to be spent. This event helped all our children to plan for their career after Grade 10th. A special thanks to Rotary Club of Vizag Port city for sponsoring and hosting this event 100% with their own resources. Rtn President Mr. Philip Patrick Timothy and his fellow Rotarians of Vizag port city spent months of planning to make this a very successful event in cooperation with Uplift a Child India. Our previous Career counseling program of last year was also sponsored by Rotary club of Vijayawada.
Our main chief guest is a IAS officer (collector of Delhi) Mr. Surender Naik IAS and Dr. Rolland Williams of YMCA was our Valedictory chief guest for the program. The other resource persons for the sessions were, Mr. Satish Valiveti, CEO – Advanced Minds Vizag, Mr. Suresh & team – Careers guidance consultants from Hyderabad and Mr. Samuel Smiles Godi – Consultant on Medical studies.

2016 Maryland Uplift a Child Sponsors Program
May 14th 2016 – Takoma Park, Maryland, USA
We had our Maryland Uplift a Child annual program on May 14th @ Takoma Park, MD, USA. It rained and we thought our program might be cancelled. But thankful to the faithful few whom made it in the rain in spite of the bad weather. We prayed for those who could not make it as it was a bad rainy day. It is very important for Uplift a Child to have these annual sponsors programs to update on the work being done and be available for our sponsors with any questions on our operations. Sharing the information and keeping everyone informed on everything is one of the best practices of a good non-profit and we are proud to do that each year at various locations.
