God was so faithful enough to help us celebrate our 3rd Annual award ceremony and it’s success with our partnered organization Jubilee Foundation Mr. Vinay Kancharla – Executive Director & Mrs. Sraina Kancharla – Executive Officer , North Carolina Representative Ms Maria Cervania, Mayor of Morrisville Mr. TJ Cawley , Town council Member Mr. Steve Rao, Ms. Cara Townsend Dohner , Director of Community Relations VAYA Health , Mr.Mike Brochers , Director of Water Resources Department , City of Greensboro and various community leaders from 15 different organizations along with our honorable parents who joined us.

We had our humble beginnings in the year 2022 with just 5 high schoolers who were given opportunities in our Educational Research Projects to cross borders digitally to serve the society.After which in 2023 we had a set of 25 children from different Ethnicities to support the cause and this year we had huge success with another 35+ students added to the crew .

On a total around 70 student interns from USA & Canada especially in and around RTP area , with 1500+ hours on 7 different projects were taken care by our international coordinatorsMrs. Meenakshi Karthikeyan , Mrs. Aishwarya Ramakrishnan , Mrs. Annie Rapaka & Mrs. GayathriYeshuah . Kudos to the entire team for this great accomplishment !

We encourage our students to offer a micro portion of their time and talents to be utilized in these macro projects which includes researching on specific topics, content writings, documenting the resources or creating presentations for the rural children. Each one of them is involved according to their interests and ability.

The 3rd Annual Award Ceremony , celebrated the commendable achievements of our 37 student interns from the Educational Research Team by recognising their notable contributions through Prestigious Awards from the Global Academy of Excellence along with
