                                         I have been in the USA since November 1994. I feel blessed to have the
                                         opportunity  to  assist  with  the  Hemkunt  Foundation  speech  competition.
                                         Sometimes, I served as a judge, and other times, I helped participants

                                         write their speeches and incorporate Gurbani quotes.

                                         Both  of my  sons,  Gaganpreet  Singh  and  Gurpreet  Singh,  participated  in
                                         the  speech  competition  around  1995  and  performed  very  well.  Now  in
                                         2024, Gurpreet’s daughter (my granddaughter) Aleena Singh is going to
                                         participate  in  the  speech  and  Keertan  competition  at  the  international

                                         level.  We  are  extremely  proud  of  the  Hemkunt  Foundation  &  Guru  Nanak
                                         Khalsa School San Jose organizers for spreading Sikhism through these
                                             participants  and  providing  them  with  extensive  knowledge  about  their
            religion, especially here in the US, where they have limited exposure.      Mrs. Inderjit Kaur
