🧵1/8 After almost a decade of organizing parents at @parentrev, I am transitioning out of my role. I am humbled to be joining the team at Organizer Zero. In transition, I would like to share some lessons for those of us who continue to work with families and students:

Thank you to Dawoodi Bohras of Orange County & Inland Empire for inviting #BAPSLosAngeles to participate in this year's #Ramadan #Interfaith Iftar! Events like these remind us that the walls between faiths are far thinner than we think. @Dawoodi_Bohras @Bohras_USA

1 in 4 families in Southern California face food insecurity. 🍎

This week, #BAPSLosAngeles volunteers donated fresh produce 🥕🍊 and packed 175 food boxes 📦 for families in need with Rep. @NormaJTorres (CA-35). Community first. Always. 🤝💙

Partnership in action! 🙌

Grateful to Congresswoman Norma Torres (CA-35) for partnering with #BAPSCharities volunteers to uplift our community. Nearly 200 families served and 4,000+ pounds of fresh food distributed this Thanksgiving season. 🍊📦

Together, we made an impact. 💛

We were delighted to join members of the wider British Hindu community for the ‘Diwali in London’ celebrations hosted by the @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan at Trafalgar Square.

The children of @BAPS #NeasdenTemple delivered Vedic prayers invoking the timeless Hindu wisdom of peace, harmony, and goodness. Volunteers also introduced the upcoming @BAPSParis Hindu Mandir in France.
