Whether it was Indian students unfortunate deaths in road accidents,
Universities leaving Indian students in the lurch or when Indian women faced
domestic violence it was the one phone call they made to TEAM Square that came
to their aid. TEAM Square offered help to hundreds of Telugu NRIs in the USA.
TEAM square was a non-profit
organization started by Telugu NRI Mohan Nannapaneni twenty years ago. It began
its activities with 200 volunteers and 6,000 members. Today it is purely a
voluntary organisation and works just like any International Red Cross or
Salvation Army.
Team Square has been renamed as TEAM Aid and has expanded its services to
every Indian regardless of caste, creed and language. TEAM Aid offers services
in America and Canada. TEAM Aid had sought collaboration with other national
and international organizations in fifty States of North America and the
response had been encouraging.
In New Jersey on 10th April 2018 forty organizations partnered with TEAM
Aid. The website teamaid.org was launched at the event for people to register
as volunteers. TV9 CEO Ravi Prakash was the Chief Guest for this event and also
at Bay Area's Siliconandhra University event on 5th June 2018 where thirty
Indian organizations partnered with TEAM Aid which included a Malayali, Sikh
and Marwadi Association.
Ravi Prakash Foundation has decided
to support TEAM Aid. Mr. Ravi Prakash
strongly believed that Indian community in the US under TEAM Aid is one
large extended family. TV9 Telugu channel has been promoting TEAM Aid phone
numbers and its activities vigorously in American time band.
As part of its Corporate social
responsibility TV9 channel has always supported numerous causes over the years.
Additionally Ravi Prakash Foundation was founded in 2017 to further his
commitment and passion for making change in society by supporting the cause of
education and health. Today Ravi Prakash Foundation is undertaking philanthropic activities in these
areas.
