Welcome! |
 You have reached the home of the Navin Desai Memorial
Fund. This fund was founded in the memory of Navin Desai; a father,
a friend, an inspiraton to us all. Before passing away in 2004, Navin
returned from a visit to India vowing to dedicate his life to the cause
of one Ram Ignole, founder of Amrapali Utkarsh Sangh, an non-profit
organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of underprivileged families
by providing safe-havens and education to their children. |
On this site you will find additional information
about Navin Desai, Ram Ignole and Amrapali Utkarsh Sangh. You will also
find out how to make a tax deductible donation through the U.S. based
Arpan Foundation, a 501(c) organization. There are many ways you
can help and no gift is too small to make a difference. Please view
our donations page for details. |
In addition you will find articles posted by the
family and friends of Navin Desai, and members, teachers and students
of Amrapali Utkatsh Sangh. We hope you will find these stories and as
inspirational as we do. |
| Thank you! |
