Day 37 of Mentor on Road, USA

We reap what we sow; we are the makers of our own fate. None else has the blame, none has the praise.”
-Swami Vivekananda
Today on day 37, Mentor on Road is on its way to the second most populous city in the United States (after New York City) and the most populous city in the state of California, Los Angeles. The drive from San Diego to Los Angeles was quite pleasant and scenic. 

In the evening, Mentor on Road headed to an excellent interaction arranged by the President Virendrabhai Shah and Nitinbhai Shah at Jain Centre, Los Angeles. Wholehearted thanks to Jaswantbhai Modi for letting us his support for the event. We were delighted to note that prominent personalities of Los Angeles were present in the event. 

The Jain Center of Southern California (JCSC) located in Buena Park, California is a non-profit religious organization to pursue a goal of practicing, promoting and preserving the Jain religion. It is governed by a constitution and managed by Board of Directors and an Executive Committee consisting of President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Public Relations, and ten Directors, who are elected by the Jain Center members for a term of two years.

Various events and on-going activities are planned and organized by a number of sub-groups including Mahavir Mandal, Jain Center Youth Council (JCYC), Jain Association of Young Adults (JAYA), and Jain Seniors Association. During the year many dignitaries from India and other parts of the world visit this center and hold lectures and discourses in Jainism.

Mentor on Road presented about the positive and innovative developments of New India 3.0. Also, we talked about the approach to adopt smart villages. The session was fairly interesting as remarkable, quality and relevant questions were raised by the audience to which Mentor on Road was successfully able to answer.
                    



















Amratbhai and Pranavbhai shared about their brilliant work in India. It was highly inspiring to listen to their stories.

Mentor on Road is happy to announce that within a time frame of 24 hours, fo
ur villages have been adopted through emails received by us. We have already forwarded those details to our office headquartered in India. We will soon be working on all of them and we will keep briefing all our readers and supporters on what's happening with the project.

Thanks to all my friends for coming and attending the event - Manubhai Shah, Harsh Vasa, Ashok Madan, Ajay Shah who had come all the way from San Diego, Amrat bhai, Arvind bhai, Rajendra bhai Vora.

Final and big thanks to Dr. Nitin Shah, for trusting Mentor on Road and taking the effort of arranging an exceptional and well-organised event for us. Also, his better half, Kinnarben's support is truly appreciated.
