Rai Foundation is the crystallization of an Inspiration and a Dream. 'Manav Sewa Madhav Sewa' or 'Service of Man is Service to God'…that's an ancient wisdom that has reverberated through Time and Civilizations. So also the fact that Man exists because of Society…and that each one of us is truly indebted to our society and, therefore, must give back and strive through sincere thoughts, words and deeds to make it a better place to live in.
