“Where are you looking for God- when he is in front of
you in every living being, in many different forms? Those
who serve mankind (and any other living being) are serving
God” -- Swami Vivekananda.
Inspired by
this thought of Swami Vivekananda, a group of people who
share common values and ideals formed UPASA (United Pravaasa
Aatmeeyula Society of America) - a nonprofit organization
dedicated to identifying, addressing and fulfilling social,
cultural and educational needs of Telugu communities. UPASA
offers medical, financial and educational assistance to the
deserving Telugu speaking people to reach their potential.
The mission is to perpetuate, integrate and
assimilate the cultural heritage of the Telugu speaking
people.
As a social organization, UPASA is
committed to offer services and supports to the needy
students. Our health and educational extension programs
target the poor. UPASA’s relentless pursuit is to
connect and engage people in the community development
programs.
