Name: Mr. Lalji Shamji Gorasia
Birth place: Madhapar Reason I joined the committee: I believe that every individual has an obligation to contribute to their community in whatever way, big or small, they are able to. I have been fortunate to have done this for over 48 years. From 1968 to the present day I volunteered for several community organisations and specifically in Kutch Madhapar Karyalaya (UK) Committee firstly as an assistant treasurer (3 years), Assistant Secretary (6 years), General Secretary (5 years), President (11 years) and for the past 6 years I've been a Trustee. Volunteering has been a very rewarding and extremely enjoyable part of my life and why I still continue to serve Kutch Madhapar Karyalaya through my retirement years. |
