\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cRecently, in Belgrade, ACT Foundation celebrated 20 years of its existence, helping the underprivileged. ACT Foundation is active in 29 countries, supported by more than 450 volunteers who are providing food, relief work during global disasters and calamities, education, planting of fruit trees, etc, always providing aid directly into the hands of the aid recipients through its dedicated volunteers from Europe, South America, Asia\u2026\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe story of how the ACT Foundation (Ammucare Charitable Trust) came into existence has inspired and transformed numerous people across the globe, primarily thanks to its founder \u2013 P.K. Mohan. Mohan is originally from the south of India and with his dedication and incredible energy, with the idea that only by serving together can we change the world and make it a better place, he moved millions of people to join him in many volunteer-based actions in order to reach out to the hungry and vulnerable.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAfter a very tragic life event, P. K. Mohan experienced inner transformation that would turn his foundation into a global movement of kindness and selfless service to the world and turn him into a spiritual leader, known today as Mohanji.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe tragic event happened on August 23, 2000. On this fate-defining day, the four-year-old Ammu, Mohanji\u2019s daughter, lost her life in a tragic road accident, setting off a chain reaction of grief and suffering. Shortly after this terrible loss, Mohanji found himself deprived of everything \u2013 his job, home, marriage, friends and material possessions.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt is often said that fire purifies gold. What emerged from this intense ordeal was a man stripped of all social notions, beliefs and identities. He turned inward and started to listen to the subtle, all-pervading, essential silence at the center of existence \u2013 his soul. There he discovered an endless source of unconditional love that became his main driving force.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThrough the Ammucare Charitable Trust \/ACT Foundation, Mohanji strived to provide access to basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing, education and healthcare for those who need it the most, regardless of all man-made barriers such as nationality, religion, skin color, etc. His goal was to give every being the opportunity to lead a dignified life. And his mission crystalized into a movement to transform pain into a purpose, to support the suffering, hungry, all those who need help, so that everyone may follow the path of searching for and embracing divine grace.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOn this newly found path, in 2007 in Dubai, Mohanji also met his wife, Biljana Radoni\u0107, originally from Slatina, Croatia, who first arrived to Serbia in the midst of the whirlwind of war, and later on found a job in Dubai. Since 2012, Biljana or Biba Mohan, known today as Devi Mohan, became involved in all aspects of ACT Foundation\u2019s activities around the world, assuming the role of the Global President of ACT Foundation.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAside from ACT, Mohanji has also established various other global platforms to enable people to express their compassion and kindness in unique ways \u2013 through dance, music, writing, yoga and even martial arts.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHowever, ACT Foundation holds a special place in his heart. This is because being kind, compassionate, and grateful doesn\u2019t require any special talent\u2014just an open heart full of love and gratitude.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As volunteers, we feel grateful every day for the very privilege to serve. When you get the chance, do your best, give your best.\u201d \u2013 Mohanji said recently in Belgrade, during the celebration two decades of ACT Foundation\u2019s existence.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A Brief History of the ACT Foundation\n\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tACT Foundation was established in Dubai, UAE in November 2003 under the leadership of Mohanji and the then ACT Chairman, Mr. Anand Nair.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tInitial projects included disaster relief, such as the support of the victims of the earthquake in Bam, Iran, in 2003, the Asian tsunami in 2004, and the 2006 Lebanon war.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSince 2012, ACT has expanded its activities internationally, operating under the name ACT Foundation. While Ammucare Charitable Trust, ACT\u2019s sister organization, remains active in India, ACT Foundation is expanding its activities all over the world. At the same time in 2012, the foundation was registered in South Africa, then in Great Britain, USA, thus slowly growing into a worldwide movement. Today ACT Foundation operates in 29 countries and is supported by over 450 volunteers, spreading positivity into lives of more than two million individuals.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cWe serve with a Passion for Compassion\u201d is ACT\u2019s main motto. Through unwavering commitment and small steps, they have embraced the world. The five pillars of ACT \u2013 Food, Shelter, Education, Clothing and Environment \u2013 are the basis of foundation\u2019s activity.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAnother interesting fact about the ACT Foundation is that it is 100 percent volunteer-based, the food donated to people is exclusively vegan, and the help is always provided into the hands of the underprivileged, through dedicated volunteers.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
