Keynote: Education in Rural India

New York City

Go ForeFront

June 2017

Improving Education in Rural India

GoForeFront has been blazing the trail, showing the world how a small team of passionate volunteers could transform a community in rural India with:

  1. Clean Water / Sanitation

  2. Education for Youth and Adults

  3. Affordable Healthcare

  4. Women Empowerment

That’s why I was excited to inspire more change agents and dream funders with my own story of community change.

Keynote Speech (Excerpts)

“Tonight, with GoForeFront, we help provide a set of keys that will open new doors in India. Keys that will breakdown societal limitations and help villagers overcome their own hardships, just like the ones we overcome in our own communities…”

“Education is the set of keys. Transformational keys that has also transformed over 500 Bronx, New York, community members with Equality's Adult Education programs. Keys that we now send 8,165 miles away.”

As Robert Kennedy once stated, “Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events...It is from numberless, diverse acts of courage, and belief that human human history is shaped…”

“Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope and those build a current that can can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
