Anoopa Sharma Children's Foundation
March 28, 2005 12:38 AM
To honor Anoopa and her wishes to help the needy, her family, Dennis, Anita, and Uttama Sharma have established the Anoopa Sharma Children's Foundation (ASCF). The Fund will provide support for a school in North India which Dennis and Anoopa visited together in the summer of 2004. The school is the girls’ high school in a small village called Atrauli, which is where Dennis was born. Atrauli is in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
Anoopa and Dennis were appalled and saddened to find so much lacking in basic school needs. They agreed that they would find some way to help improve the conditions at the school - merit scholarships, library, desks and chairs, drinking water fountain, repair of classrooms and other much needed facilities at the school. The Sharma’s hope that the people whom Anoopa touched might find this a fitting and gratifying opportunity to help execute a project Anoopa hoped to work on herself.

I did not know Anoopa till today. His uncle, Sharma, brought me close to her today.
Her's indeed is a great cause. She has touched so many, in so many parts of the world; let us be the instruments of her reach and humanity and carry forth her worthy cause, here on earth, while she is busy helping others in other worlds!
Let us keep her legacy alive! She is larger than life!
Thanks for letting me play a small role in a big wave,

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Anoopa directly. Her uncle, Spencer Nayan Joshi, told me her story last night. I was deeply touched and inspired by the actions of one so young. Please accept this gift as a token of my appreciation for the way in which she touched so many lives while here. She continues to touch lives through the stories of those who loved her.
