I have partnered with my friend Cheryl Mondloch-Potts and the International Student Services Center at Boise State University to host a presentation by Narayanan Krishnan, founder of Akshaya Trust. He will share his story and answer questions about the life changing moment that began his journey as one of India’s top humanitarians. Since 2002 Narayanan has been cooking and caring for the homeless, disabled, and forgotten. His work was recognized in 2010 when CNN named him one of their top 10 heroes.
Following the event, a fundraising dinner will be held at the Taj Mahal restaurant. Please join us for a more intimate conversation with Narayanan.
