They have undertaken an enormous fundraising effort across the globe, but especially in North America where they hope to match previous year’s funds of close to $900,000.
At the press conference, the founder Baba Iqbal Singh Ji and Dr Khem Singh ji made a passionate plea for the community to continue supporting the great work the society has been doing with opening of more than 500 educational institutes in India and abroad.
Following the press conference there will be a formal networking lunch with many of the lower mainlands prominent business and political leaders. This will provide an opportunity to touch base with many successful individuals and provide them an opportunity to give insight and ideas to the Kalgidhar Society going forward.
Akal Academy continues its mission to establish Sikh educational institutions around the globe.
A hundred years ago it was in Canada, that a small but determined Sikh diaspora that Sant Teja Singh started his mission to ensure quality religious and academic education for future Sikh generations.
He was also the founder of the Khalsa Diwan Societies in Vancouver & Stockton ,USA. It was through his eyes that we first conceived the idea of international schools.
