With the aforementioned, I invite your further participation in nourishing children and nurturing dreams. I once again thank each of you for your continued relationship with The Akshaya Patra Foundation. Some dreams remain as wishes, some change with time. Some dreams shape our lives by holding strong against all odds. That’s when we realise if our dreams can be prized, then why not a child’s? So let’s support the dream of a child that has every right to be realised, Who knows, it might be a way to relive our own dream. Madhu Pandit Dasa Chairman The Akshaya Patra Foundation 2
TRUSTEES’ OVERVIEW Dreams worth believing in Through all our years of serving mid-day meals, children have remained at the heart of all our activities – from planning and execution to sustenance and expansion. Be it a simple process-related step towards improving the Mid-Day Meal Programme or signing up a strategic partnership, the fundamental consideration has always been the benefit of children. Having seen countless children’s lives transform over the years, I can confidently state that the dreams of these children are worth all the support. 15 years have passed by and we have grown from feeding 1,500 children to over 1.4 million children. But, we feel that the journey has just begun. Each day is a fresh step on the road towards achieving our vision. We have set ourselves the goal to feed 5 million children by 2020. To attain this mission is no easy task but it’s not impossible either – this belief gives us the strength to continue working towards achieving it. Because when you invest your time, skill and resources as an aid to support a deserving child, you are directly working towards a conscientious social gain that has the potential to eliminate the recurring cycle of poverty, hunger and illiteracy. With our common goal to remove the barrier of hunger, let’s together uphold the dreams of the millions of children through food, education and care.
