Paving Hope is an initiative that stemmed from our desire a community to do more for those who are less fortunate then us. Our goal is to empower those who are trying to change their lives in a new way, both children and adults. Our goal is to use dance, music, art and culture to promote awareness about the difficulties and situations that many of these individuals face as a reality. There are many people with big dreams and goals but are unable to follow those due to unfortunate circumstances. We would like to make an impact so that people of all religions, cultures, ethnicity’s can come together to follow their dreams.
Paving Hope’s founder, Amulya Vajja’s inspiration for Paving Hope stemmed from her desire to have a positive impact and help her communities. As a child Amulya struggled to balance her Indian roots in an American society. When her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, Amulya wanted to give back to the community for the support her family had received during her moms treatment. She started Paving Hope as a way to use Indian dance and culture to support and give back to underserved communities.
