Tribute to Arjanbhai K. Vekaria

-
It is with deep shock and grief we announce the sudden death of our Vice President Shri Arjanbhai KarsanVekaria. Late Shri Arjanbai, a philanthropist, a social worker, an advocate for  dignity and respect for people with disabilities, died on 23rd November 2013. He was 59.

Sri Arjanbhai was born in Madhapar on 6th December 1954  and was educated in India , Uganda and the U.K. He was residing in London and was one of the Managing Directors of Vascroft Construction Ltd. U.K.

Sri Arjanbhai had been the vice president of this organization since 1996. He was elected as Vice president on the death of his father late Shri Karsanbhai Vekaria in 1996. Late Karsanbhai was also the vice president of the organization then and was the founder of  Viklang Kanyakunj, Madhapar. Like him, the entire members of Karsanbhai’s family are  involved in active community service, especially for the disadvantaged persons, both in India and abroad through donations through their Vascroft Fondation  and visionary administrative guidance and fundraising acumen of Arjanbhai.

Late Shri Arjanbhai was an intelligent, committed and energetic philanthropist, willing to provide an all-out effort for any project beneficial to disadvantaged persons, especially the persons with disabilities. His passionate engagement with Shri Navchetan Andhjan Mandal was inspiring to the donors, the trustees, the staff and the beneficiaries of the organisation.
He had a lot of vision about what would be best for the persons with disabilities and how to get there. He was not only the best fundraiser for the organization but also had good understanding what the organization was doing and helping it to do it better, with some creativity and new approaches. His main focus in all of his work was restoring the dignity in disabled persons through education, skill development and rehabilitation.

With his demise Shri Navchetan Andhjan Mandal has lost a friend, philosopher and a  guide. His invaluable contribution to the welfare of disabled persons  will live in the history of the organisation forever.

We pray to god that his soul may rest in peace and to give courage to his family to bear his loss.

The tide recedes but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand,
The Sun goes down, but gentle warmth lingers on the land,
The music stops and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains,
For every joy that passes something beautiful remains……… Handin Marshall
