Mr. Kirit C. Daftary President JAINA Headquarters P.O. Box 700 Getzville, NY 14068
Dear Mr. Daftary:
I would like to extend my warmest congratulations and support for the 14th Biennial JAINA Convention to be held July 5 to 8 at the New Jersey Convention and Expo Center in Edison, New Jersey.
As the founder and former co-chair of the India Caucus, I am a steadfast supporter and advocate of Indian-American issues. With this in mind, it gives me great pleasure to offer words of encouragement and support for this very special event. Every other year since the first convention in 1981, attendees have come from all over the world to join together in promoting its humanitarian aims.
JAINA is a federation of 62 Jain organizations representing more than 100,000 Jains living in USA and Canada without any distinction based on sect, language or region. It has provided a forum to foster friendship and unity among various Jain communities in North America for more than two decades. With the help of over 300 volunteers from all over North America, the nonviolent organization openly promotes humanitarian activities worldwide. Time and again, The World Community Services of JAINA have come to the aid of victims of natural disasters. Another branch of the organization, The Wheels of Hope Committee is committed to shipping free medical equipment and supplies to hospitals across India. Numerous organizations, including the American Red Cross and the World Medical Relief Inc. of Detroit, have awarded JAINA for their successful efforts in these and other charitable endeavors.
Thank you for your time and energy to this compassionate organization. I wish JAINA the very best and look forward to hearing about its successes.
Sincerely,
Franh Pallon, h.
