Hansa Community Development Center
Early in 2005, the Desai Family Foundation, along with the Sri Yoganand Saraswati Education and Medical Relief Trust (the Trust) embarked on an ambitious plan to develop and operate the Hansa Community Development Center (the Center.) We are pleased to report that construction for the Center is complete, and the Center fully operational! Many outreach meetings have resulted in the recruitment of a number of volunteers, and establishment of key committees. With hopes to empower the community, we have implemented vocational training classes and opened up the town’s first computer center. For more details of this program and to see how you can get involved please see: Hansa Community Development Center.
