The ideals of Swami Vivekananda, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi and Sister Nivedita do not rot unlike mortal things or beings. Their principles of serving humanity did not disappear with the departure of their souls from earth. Generous, kind-hearted philanthropists like Indian American Shefali Kalyani share their principles and keep them alive through good work for noble causes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Based in the US state of New Hampshire in the North England region, Shefali Kalyani is on a mission to feed the poor and provide the needy with clothes<\/strong>. She founded We Care Charity, a 501C3 certified non-profit organization in order to concretize her mission and vision of service to the underprivileged in India and the United States.<\/p>\n

How We Care Charity Happened to Shefali <\/strong><\/h4>\n

A former business analyst by profession, Shefali Kalyani was not bitten by the bug of philanthropy one fine morning or in a sweet dream. The idea of service to humanity had been close to her heart for long<\/strong>. It had been a long-cherished dream until it came true in 2012 when she called local soup kitchens in Salem and requested them to lend a hand in feeding the poor.<\/p>\n

Initially, Shefali faced rejection and met with a deaf ear to her calls just as any good work begins with obstacles. But, she neither gave in to disappointment nor let hopelessness shroud her dream.<\/strong> She kept calling and following up with restaurants. After a few months of her pursuit, she got a call from Nashua Soup Kitchen to cook and serve dinner to the poor. Her family and friends joined and assisted Shefali in serving the first meal to 200 people.<\/p>\n

Challenges on the Way to We Care Charity<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It was her first step towards what we see today in form of We Care Charity in Salem, New Hampshire. However, new challenges kept coming her way with the next steps. Besides a mounting heap of work, the most gnawing challenge is to collect fund and find like-minded volunteers for furthering the mission and vision of We Care Charity<\/strong>, as Shefali Kalyani told Travel Beats, a leading community portal for Indians in the USA.<\/p>\n

When it came to choosing between her full-time job and We Care Charity, Shefali followed her heart and picked the latter, service to humanity.<\/strong> Now she dedicates her full time to various projects at We Care Charity. She along with her husband, Vinay is actively working in India and New England, USA. Apart from offering the philanthropic service at 12 soup kitchens and 3 children\u2019s homes in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, We Care Charity is present in Ahmedabad<\/a> and Pune<\/a>, India.<\/p>\n
