Samir
Wadhwani, Eagle Scout candidate in Emerson Troop 67, has been collecting
reusable water bottles for Children’s Hope Prayas, a small elementary school in
Katpulti Colony, India, a village rife with poverty and remarkably unsanitary
conditions.
Samir
has been working with the principal of this school to supply 500 water bottles
that allow the kids clean containers to drink from. Samir
approached schools, businesses, churches and temples throughout our community to
help him reach this ambitious goal. His project was to bring
what he considers a small bit of support to a group of children living in very
difficult conditions. The Volunteer Center was pleased to help Samir in
his outreach.
Eagle
Scout is the highest level of service and achievement in the Boy
Scouts. Samir has worked throughout his years of scouting to
attain this prestigious recognition. Samir is committed to
continue serving others. “Service is a lifetime commitment
which I will always honor.”
If
you are looking for an Eagle Scout project or need help getting in touch with
agencies that need help, please call the Volunteer Center of Bergen County at
