HAPPY GANDHI JAYANTI!!

Dear Esteemed Members of Our Community:

I would like to wish you a very Happy Gandhi Jayanti 2014.

Yesterday (October 2nd) people all over India and Indian Diaspora around the world celebrated Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday.

Just want to wish for Peace, Humanity, Love and Happiness for the World in which we live in on this Gandhi Jayanti!!


Members of Team IAALV is determined with unquenchable faith and quest in its mission which will alter the course of history of the LV Indian Diaspora from its compartmentalized vision to one of ‘Composite India’ in this adopted country of ours. Through a repertoire of programs, IAALV is projecting ‘Composite India’ and connecting Indian-Americans with Lehigh Valley organizations and people.

To commemorate the birth anniversary of Father of Nation of the largest democracy of the world, Team IAALV is offering food services for the homeless at the Allentown Rescue Mission.

IAALV – Youth Group (led by IAALV Youth Coordinator Aditya Govande) will prepare food in the morning and serve at the mission in the afternoon on Saturday, Oct 4 under the guidance of IAALV Youth Advisor Nitin Laud and the program is facilitated and supervised by our Program Manager Bama Bhashyam.

It is with a great pleasure I am happy to say that our young folks are providing a great service to our Lehigh Valley community at large with so much sensitivity with the unwavering support from their parents and the members of Team IAALV.

Thank you all for volunteering on behalf of the 5000 plus Lehigh Valley Indian-Americans.

Happy Gandhi Jayanti!! God Bless Us All!!
