I am proud to be part of a truly inspiring organisation. 2011 promises to bring some new and exciting opportunities for our children and I am committed to working hard to realize their potential to the maximum." HOH Youth Chapter The Youth Chapter continues to gain strength in numbers and there is a great passion among these young members to help their not so privileged counterparts in India. For some of them, this awakening has come about through visits to the HOH projects and seeing the transformative work that is being done through the funds provided by HOH. The Youth Chapter is headed by Nikki Somani and she is excited about "starting our mentoring projects in January of 2011. We will work with two organizations, Super Stars Literacy and Girls, Inc, to tutor underprivileged children in Oakland, California." In addition, the group is raising funds to send scholarships to highly-motivated students in orphanages in India. Nikki says "We also hope to work with the One Laptop Per Child organization to begin a pilot program with these laptops in India. To help achieve our goals, we are planning several upcoming fundraisers. We hope to expand our Youth Chapter and recruit more volunteers during the year of 2011." Admirable goals indeed!
