A tribute to Rotarian of the Year Mohan Viddam and the philanthropy he did personally and through our Dublin AM Rotary club. Mohan helped organize the construction of over a dozen water treatment plants in India, developed a program to train veterans on software testing at Halcyon IT, and always looked for additional ways to help people. We’ll be joined by Mohan’s wife Geeta and his daughter Anjana and special guest PDG Deepa Biswas who is also the founder of PACE Unlimited. PACE is a girl’s school in India that with Mohan’s and Dublin AM’s contributions, we helped them build a new wing in the school for vocational training.
