Mr. Chaganti V.K. Maithreya

Started with appreciating e gov

when a baby is born we say welcome to this selfish world

Theosophical society

what right we have to blame the system

life changed when he visited a project at Ananthapur Dist in AP

We take all things for granted

Philanthropy should not only address physical needs, but also emotional, phychological, spiritual needs of all

Theosophy is divine wisdom

One need to bring sphere of influence and usefulness together to be a philanthropist

Quoted Mahatma, there is enough for everyone’s need but not greed

Project Tsunami

Relief- medicines, water, clothes,utencils

Rehabilitation- drinking water plants

Empowerment- paper recycling units

showed the compassion of millions of Indians to the World

Traffic signal reaction: When beggars come and ask for money, you give, thats not real philanthropism

you need to dirty your hands,

Need to empower the people and create a win win system

Two units were setup during Tsunami relief

Run by women, in the name of Anne Besant and Mother Theressa

Create awareness

Buying environment friendly products

Recommend environment friendly products

set up more units to produce and market these products

Making underprivileged people partners in the projects

Aim for a win-win situation

Environment is benefitted

Underprivilaged realise their needs and aspirations

Moving from physical and emotional needs to self actualisation and finally spiritual development

The mantra for new age e age should be reuse and recycle

Concludes the story of how an young man swims the pond full of crocodiles and come unhurt and finally ask I want to know who pushed me in!
