International
philanthropist and global icon Meera Gandhi has played many
roles over the course of her life. As the founder and CEO of
The Giving Back Foundation, Meera has travelled the world in
service of the underprivileged. As a former volunteer at
Ashadaan, she learnt the joy of self-sacrifice from Mother
Teresa herself. As a mother, she raised her three children
while successfully managing her philanthropic, business and
social engagements. |

The Foundation For
Excellence Gala |
 |
|
Meera Gandhi was
the guest of honor at The Foundation For Excellence Gala
last night in NYC at the amazing 360 TriBecA venue. |
Founded three decades
ago by Prabhu Goel, a tech entrepreneur from Silicon Valley,
the foundation (ffeus.org), has given out 110,000
scholarships to needy but bright students in India who are
accepted to top ranked medical, engineering, law and
pharmacy colleges.
This not just transforms their lives but uplifts their
families too.
Some scholars then
manage to come on their own merit to the US
for postgraduate studies.
A few of them
attended the packed annual gala and shared their stories
with FFE donors and supporters over cocktails and a
delicious meal.
Monika Patel did
a sit down Q & A with Meera Gandhi who gave an insight into
her philanthropic journey.
In closing Meera
said, "When we serve we cease to suffer!"
There was a resounding applause as the enthusiastic audience
resonated with her message.
