Ramakrishna Vaddempudi - A Philanthropist



Ramakrishna Vaddempudi is a man who loves to give back, and never hesitates when it comes to improving a community, or even the world at large. Being impoverished once himself while living in India with his mother, Vaddempudi knows first hand what it feels like to need a helping hand, and that even the smallest amount can make the most remarkable difference. Vaddempudi himself remembers  that his mother got a computer for him through the One Laptop per Child charity organization. This organization helped Vaddempudi himself have access to a wealth of information, allowing him to expand his knowledge and find out the many scholarship programs available for those who excelled in scholastics. Vaddempudi would not miss this opportunity, and devoted himself to academics so that he would later receive the scholarships necessary for him to study and a college in America. Vaddempudi remembers fondly how much that simply, cheap laptop effected his life, which is why he is now an avid philanthropist, and gives back through many programs that are non profit, especially ones that operate in India. Vaddempudi feels that it is part of his life obligation and duty to help others, as he himself once needed that very help to become who he is today.

Ramakrishna Vaddempudi says that the smallest contribution often means the most to those who have the least, which is why he always makes sure to do what he can for those less fortunate than themselves. Vaddempudi says that you can never truly know how beautiful a flower is until you water it, and that children are the same way, all they require is a bit of nourishment and they can do wonderful things, something Vaddempudi himself can attest to.
