society, HOPE has been continuously striving to come up with ways to reduce
poverty and educational disparity. To spread awareness and to raise funds for
the under-served of our society HOPE recently held a Fund raiser at Chandni
Restaurant, Fremont, California. This fund raiser was arranged by our HOPE USA
