INSPIRATION
Nature inspires man in many ways, yet it is left to an individual’s perception of what he observes and assimilates. And, Aasya Health Foundation draws its inspiration from Sharvani, a 9 year old girl affected with Leukemia.
Hailing from a not so well to do family, financial assistance was not very easy. When the family reached out for philanthropists through the local media, the columns of the newspaper with an innocent helpless face touched the heartstrings of Mr.Sree Ram, MCA student of SNIST giving him a strong inspiration. Thus bloomed the idea of Aasya Health Foundation with a motto to spread the smiles among these children.
“INSPIRATION CAN ALSO COME FROM A 9 YEAR GIRL”- SREE RAM, Founder and President
MISSION
- To spread awareness regarding different cancers in children and teenagers
- Procuring genuine information of the cancer affected children and helping them
- Aiding them financially
“Change your thoughts and you change your world” – Norman Vincent Peale
Just from this simple thought, Mr. Sree Ram hoped to bring a small change in this world bringing about smiles in the life of children with cancer and with his constant perseverance and patience, today, his dream of a student run NGO is fulfilled. He aspires to spread this foundation in leaps and bounds.
