Leadership:
I have founded an Non for profit organization through which more than a thousand underprivileged/visually impaired/challenged students have been provided education in subjects such as English and others free of cost. My organization has international presence in Dubai, UAE and in Lubbock, TX with volunteers conducting activities in these places. Also arranged fundraisers which raised more than $2000. This organization has received extensive media coverage in my city including newspapers. Also one of the volunteers is an NYU student and hence NYU is funding a few of our projects.
