Informações:

Synopsis

Amitabh Shah launched Yuva Unstoppable 14 years ago at a mere age of 23. After completing his MBA from Yale, he passed up a JPMorgan Banking Wall Street offer to work on the real streets of India. He decided to launch this volunteer movement after he discovered immense suffering experienced by his elderly 82-year-old nanny, Kamlaben, while she was abused by her son’s family. Amitabh gathered friends and began volunteering at homes for the elderly, slums and orphanages. Touched by the stories he came across every day and inspired by the enthusiasm of other young people to volunteer, he founded YUVA Unstoppable—to act as a catalyst in the development, improvement and growth of children. Amitabh is the recipient of one of the highest awards officially recognized by the US House of Representatives and Senate - International Ellis Island Award at Statue of Liberty in May 2019. Previous winners have been Bill Clinton, George Bush, Muhammad Ali, Rosa Parks, Richard Nixon, Lee Iococa, Mrs Indra Nooyi, and Malala amo
