Aruna Thumepalli

The NESSP Sai Baba Temple, is run by volunteers who spend their time and energy making the temple a spiritual community service place. Aruna Thummelapalli, a great Sai devotee, has been a key part of the organization. She has served the organization as board member for a few years. She has spent tireless time and energy coordinating numerous temple events and cultural programs organized by the temple. She is eager to help in any area whenever needed. She takes pride in owning any responsibility to serve the community and the temple. Any tasks she takes, she leads from the front and drives to completion. She volunteers tirelessly and selflessly. Itâ€™s really challenging to balance the work-life-volunteerism. But she has done it remarkably. The temple is proud to have a volunteer like her.
