Babuji, the grandfather of LEAP Foundation's CEO, was known throughout the city of Bhubaneshwar and his local village for his giving and sacrificing personality. He was not only an extremely talented individual but a compassionate person looking to help anyone in need. He solely managed an extended family of 20+ members and devoted his time towards helping others around him. Even though he may not be with us today, his spirit lives along with us at LEAP Foundation as we hope to continue what he started. "While I wasn't able to meet Babuji in my lifetime, I feel as though I have known him my whole life. The stories that my dad retells about his father, Babuji, keep his memory alive with me. With him as an inspiration, I began LEAP Foundation, Inc. to help make a difference through academic support in India," said Adhira C., CEO & Co-founder of LEAP Foundation.
