Food, books and clothing
Collections for families who need them, gathered and given locally.
Sharing and caring
Community Service
Vedic culture asks each of us to return a tenth of what we earn to society. Sanghamitra itself takes no donations — Sreenivasa will point you to organizations he has personally verified, and he runs drives of his own.
Paid to the school, never to the family
Fees for children in India go directly to the school, so the money cannot be misused. A network of people he trusts there checks each case.
With SiliconAndhra Manabadi
The Telugu classes are run by SiliconAndhra Manabadi, a separate organization — Sanghamitra hosts and helps. Ask and he will show you the way in.
Talks for the community
Presentations on Vedic mathematics and the older arts, for temples, libraries and schools.
Given onward
What the summer program collected went to the Bright Life Foundation.
The amount collected during the Srinivasa Ramanujan Mathematricks Club summer program was given to the Bright Life Foundation, founded by Sri Polineni Subbarao garu.
Food donation
Meals for shelters and schools in Visakhapatnam, with the Pranic Healers Association.
Since 2018, meals have been cooked and served through the Pranic Healers Association of Visakhapatnam: at the shelters for the homeless in TSR Complex and Bheemnagar, at Hidden Sprouts Special School in MVP Colony, and in a children's dining hall. In the 2020 lockdown the food went out in packets.
Photographs
More photographs of the drives are on their way. Sreenivasa asks everyone's permission before any photograph is published here.
