Presidents Message

Dear Fellow Aligarians and Well Wishers,

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you, and introduce to you not only the Aligarh Alumni Association of New England (AAANE), but myself as the new President of the organization.

WHO WE ARE?

The regional Association was created in 2002. It is a secular, non-profit, non-political, charitable, cultural, social and educational alliance of the alumni and supporters of the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU).

WHAT WE ARE TOGETHER?

Together we can strive for so much, achieve so much for not only ourselves, but for the many desiring a better life through commitment and community. The AAANE has already achieved great things for its members and supporters such as educational opportunities, scholarships, mentoring and more. The members coordinate blood drives, medical training such as CPR, food kitchens for the poor and shelters for the homeless. There are so many ways that members and supporters can help, either through donating their time, their ideas, their resources and of course, through individual and community prayer. No voice is too small, nor is any contribution insignificant. Membership in our association is open to everyone irrespective of race, religion, creed or color. The AAANE welcomes one… the AAANE welcomes all!

AIMS & GOALS FOR 2012

It is my sincere hope to continue the programs the AAANE currently sponsors, some of which are paying tuition and adopting a deserving elementary school student, teacher, and library. I would like to take on new challenges and create more worthwhile endeavors with the assistance of our loyal members and supporters. Some of these endeavors would include community outreach programs for betterment of communities in which we live and serve. I would like to work together to bring distance e learning program, to students in India so that they can access better education through technological advancements.

 

With Best wishes,

 

Dr. Sadia Chaghtai, President, AAANE
