    [dropcap]H[/dropcap]ow would you like to go to Hyderabad – without ever leaving New York? Visit the famous Char Minar, the colorful Lad Bazaar and taste some of the traditional cuisine – and also help educate and empower the children of this city.

    After last year’s very successful ‘Educate a Child’ Gala which raised over $ 1 million, Children’s Hope India invites you to a wonderful evening once again highlighting its prime mission – the education of underserved children. This year’s gala ‘Hope in Hyderabad – Giving Wings through Education’ takes place at Pier Sixty in Manhattan on October 9, 2016.

This year’s Lotus honorees are Mohit Assomull, Managing Director and Head of Global Capital Markets, Morgan Stanley; NV ‘Tiger’ Tyagarajan, President and CEO, Genpact.  The Making a Difference honoree  is Dr. G.K.
