UPCOMING EVENTS

INVITE MUMUKSHU RISHIBHAI FOR PAGALA

Jai Jinendra!

Mumukshu Rishibhai Zaveri wishes for the spiritual progress of you and your family. Please fill out this form to invite him to visit your home for Pagala.

Even though he wishes to accept every invitation, it may not be possible to accommodate all in the short timespan. Thus, all invitations for Pagala (Visiting your home) will be prioritized based on the quantity and intensity of your family's new Abhigrah (vows) on this occasion. Priority will be based on age of the members taking the Abhigrah, the difficulty, and timespan.

EDUCATION COMMITTEE UPDATE

Jai Jinendra and Pranam,

We are thrilled to share some wonderful news! Inspired by our recent scholarship program announcement, a generous member of our JSGD family has stepped forward with incredible commitment. They have pledged to sponsor education loans for two students and have donated $20,000 to support this noble cause. This fund will last for many years to come as students repay the loan after graduation.

This act of generosity will have a profound and lasting impact, helping students achieve their dreams and pursue higher education without financial barriers. Their kindness reflects the true spirit of giving, and we are deeply grateful for their support.

This is a powerful reminder that every contribution, big or small, changes lives. Many students face financial challenges, and for those without a green card, obtaining student loans from banks can be especially difficult. Our loan scholarship program bridges this gap, ensuring that talented, hardworking students have access to the education they deserve.

The impact is real—one of our scholarship recipients has already repaid their loan after securing a job, allowing us to continue the cycle of support for more students. This program is not just about financial aid; it’s about empowering students, alleviating financial burdens, and creating brighter futures.

If you’ve been considering making a difference, now is the time! Your support—whether through donations, mentorship, or spreading the word—can help shape the future of our students.

Join us in this meaningful journey and be the reason a student achieves their dreams!

With heartfelt gratitude,
Hemant Shah
