APNA Foundation is planning to award scholarships to selected Merit students from government Junior colleges all across AP. We encourage organizations and volunteers all over USA to join and help us in this philanthropic effort. As you are aware, a small contribution from any of us can make a big difference to the life and career path of a young person in less privileged circumstances. Helping a youngster financially may actually prove to be beneficial in many other ways. It would not be an exaggeration to say that such support may bring about several advantages to the student's family, the village and the community at large. We therefore appeal to you to strengthen our hands in this direction.

APNA is also planning to hold a Health Fair in Hyderabad in the last week of July. This includes blood work, EKG's and free consultations by NRI Physicians. This is an excellent opportunity for NRI Physicians to participate and have the satisfaction of giving some thing back to our mother land. We request medical professionals and other well-wishers to support APNA in this noble effort.

If any body planning on visiting India this summer and would like to help with Health Fair please contact any of the following.

Dr. Adisesha Reddy MD (Email: abr35406@aol.com )

Dr. Sreeni R. Gangasani MD (email: sreenig@gmail.com )

We must all remember that the only resource that APNA has at its disposal is the commitment and social consciousness of its members. We solicit your email messages to APNA Google Groups. Stay tuned for Venue, Date information.

To promote charitable activities primarily in US and in India. These activities will include but not limited to educational, scientific, cultural, and healthcare fields. The primary focus will be in the healthcare sector. APNA Foundation will carry out these tasks by raising money not only from philanthropic donors but also from for-profit and nonprofit organizations. The foundation will maintain the funds in two broad categories. The general fund will not only be utilized to maintain the day-to-day activities of the foundation but also undertake some charitable activities. Under the direction of the Board of Trustees, APNA Foundation will directly undertake certain charitable activities. The second broad category will be in the name of individual physicians who can park the money they are donated to APNA Foundation in their sub-account. They can direct the money to various charities of their choice that meet the criteria set for by the foundation and various US Government and other respective government agencies. The account of each individual donor/physicians will be accurately maintained.
