President's Message
Arvin Reddy
It is with deep humility, pride, and unwavering commitment that I share this message with you as President of Sangam of USA. This organization was not built overnight. It is the result of generations of resilience, faith, and the enduring spirit of a people rooted in tradition yet determined to rise and serve with purpose in today's world.
Sangam of USA is not just an organization; it is a movement of hearts. It is a sacred space where culture meets compassion, and service becomes our shared language. Our identity is shaped by our ancestors, whose sacrifices built the foundation we now stand on. It is our duty-our dharma-to carry that legacy forward, not just through words, but through meaningful action.
When we say, “One Sangam, One Family, One Purpose,” we speak of unity beyond borders, service beyond self, and love without condition. Whether it’s feeding the elderly in remote Fijian villages, creating awareness around mental health and human trafficking, or helping children and families in crisis here in the U.S., our mission is clear: to lead with compassion, act with courage, and uplift every life we touch.
Our strength lies in the community. We are building a family that spans oceans and generations. I’ve seen what’s possible when people come together with open hearts and a shared purpose. I’ve witnessed tears turn into hope, and struggles transform into success stories. That is what Sangam of USA stands for: impact, inclusion, and inspiration.
This is only the beginning. Together, we are redefining Sangam not just as a cultural foundation, but as a powerful global force for change. Our children will one day look back and say, “They didn’t just preserve tradition, they expanded it, lived it, and changed the world through it.”
To our members, volunteers, donors, and supporters, you are the heartbeat of this mission. Thank you sincerely for your trust, your time, and dedication. Let us continue to walk this path together, with pride in our roots and hope in our hearts.
With hope for what we’ll build together,
Arvin Reddy
President, Sangam of USA
