              <h2>What does Surya-Chandra Foundation stand for?</h2>
              <p class="img-indent-bot"><strong>Surya (Sun)</strong> – The ruler
                of the intellect and source of the truth. The sun rises day
                after day regardless of weather conditions. It traverses its
                path giving light and heat to humanity.<br>
                <br>
                <strong>Chandra (Moon)</strong> – The most visible symbol of
                feminine energy in the solar system is the Moon. Because it
                reflects the light from the sun, the pale orbit in the night sky
                has come to represent a woman's reflective nature, her
                internalized response to the world.<br>
                <br>
                It is somewhat akin to the Yin &amp; Yang nature of everything –
                man &amp; woman, need to be treated equal. Unfortunately, there
                are many countries where women are treated less equal to men.
                This must be changed, and it is the mission of Surya-Chandra
                Foundation to empower women to rise above poverty and
                inequality, even in male dominated societies. </p>
              <p><strong>Vision</strong><br>
                Enable gender equality through quality education for girls and
                women from impoverished and distraught segements of society</p>
              <p><strong>Mission</strong><br>
                To stop violence against women, and empower underpriviledged
                women to rise above poverty and inequality through
                encouragement, basic education and vocational skills</p>
              <p><strong>Core Values</strong><br>
                Action-oriented to solve problems<br>
                Build the organization brick by brick<br>
                Commitment to serve the cause<br>
                Demonstrate results of efforts<br>
                Ethical conduct and transparency<br>
                Foster teamwork and cooperation<br>
                Genuine care and respect for the individual<br>
                Help people lead healthier lives<br>

                  height="100" width="100">&nbsp; My mother and my three elder
                sisters were instrumental in shaping my views on women starting
                at an early age of six, subsequent to my father's untimely
                demise. I feel eternally obligated to the cause of empowering
                women to rise above poverty and inequality, having witnessed the
                ordeal of suffering and numerous sacrifices made by my mother
                and sisters for the sake of my welfare.<br>
                I have more than 30 years of experience as a business and
                technology consultant. I have worked for major corporations such
                as IBM, Digital Equipment (now Hewlett Packard), and Unisys as
                well as small niche consulting firms specializing in a industry
                vertical or a technology domain. During the 2000's, I worked as
                a technology executive at Health Care Industry leaders - Kaiser
                Permanente and WellPoint. <br>
                I have a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and a
                Master's in Business Administration with specialization in
                Finance and Information Systems.<br>

                  alt="picture of Shankar Rao" height="92" width="100"> I am
                very excited about helping the cause of girls and find
                opportunities to empower them. My interest in serving the
                underserved population was inculcated in me by my parents. It
                took a new meaning watching my sister, Dr. Asha Rao and my
                brother-in-law, Dr. Kali Pappu devote their entire life to
                community health as MDs. The need to increase awareness of
                issues surrounding women, rehabilitation of street children,
                sustained economic independence, and healthcare for women grew
                out this association. <br>
                Motivated by this fraternity, my wife, Dr. Anu Pappu and I
                decided to be part of this foundation to support the empowerment
                of women. I am an entrepreneur at heart, motivated to bring
                positive change in the business arena as well as the social
                landscape. We are very grateful for what we have today and would
                like to spend our energy and resources to give back in a small
                way.<br>

                  height="92" width="100"> The idea of making a difference
                through Surya-Chandra Foundation in the lives of as many under
                privileged women and children as possible, is very appealing to
                me. Currently, I also volunteer at a couple of different
                non-profit organizations in the Los Angeles area. <br>
                I have worked in accounting and finance for over 25 years. Most
                of my experience has been in the field of education. I have a
                bachelor's degree in Economics from the University of Madras,
                and have supplemented the degree with several courses in
                Accounting and Computer Science.<br>

                  Technology</strong><img class="img-indent" src="images/ashok_web.jpg"

                  alt="picture of Ashok Kumar" height="92" width="100"> Right
                from my early youth, I was deeply influenced by my father's love
                and respect for all loving things, God's creations, as he would
                put it. Being an Indian Government Worker, he had limited means.
                But, in his life time he turned around the lives of many people
                who used to come from villages with no money and very little
                education to do domestic work. He would get them started at the
                lowest level working for Post and Telegraphs. He would then
                encourage them to get more training and move up the ladder. Most
                remarkable is the achievement of an orphaned youth who used to
                work as a washerman and iron clothes in our house--"Dhobi." He
                got him started in Post and Telegraphs as well. From digging
                holes and erecting telephone poles and installing wires, he got
                promoted to be a supervisor. He, in turn, encouraged his
                children to study hard. As a result, his sons became engineers
                and scientists. One of them lives in Atlanta. Contributions made
                by S-C-Foundation to some of the charities in India are
                achieving similar results. Turning lives around really appeals
                to me. <br>
                I studied at Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, India. I
                came to the U.S. in 1969 for higher studies. I did post
                graduation work at University of Maine and University of
                Massachusetts. I worked for 37 years in the urban transportation
                planning field working with transportation network simulation
                models.<br>
                In my spare time, I like to keep up with various web
                technologies, innovative ways of fund raising, and the
                investment opportunities in promising technologies and bio-tech
                to achieve superior returns. I like to earmark some of my
                investment income to fund charitable causes. Besides Surya
                Chandra Foundation, I also promote Kiva to turn lives around on
                a shoestring budget.<br>
