The Miracle Foundation

(Community Matters) The Miracle Foundation was founded by Caroline Boudreaux on Mother’s Day 2000 after a trip to India where Caroline was struck by the poverty and plight of orphans in that country. She’s now raised over $6mm and has established 6 orphanages in India. One of her most generous benefactors has been Nav Sooch, who hosted tonight’s party for the organization to introduce more friends to their great work.

Caroline Boudreaux and Steven

Caroline was describing to us her newest project, the Austin Ventures Home which will house 200 orphans. Tonight she is hoping to raise an additional $300k+ to complete the Dick Clark designed compound which will house 10 orphans with a house mother in each cottage. Given the crowd, I’ll be surprised if she doesn’t raise the full amount. Also visited with Austin Ventures partner, Krisha Srinivasan, who’s Miracle’s board chair.

Guests outside Nav’s home

Nav funded Sooch Village, a Miracle Foundation orphanage housing 200 children in Ranchi, Jharkand. I was blown away to learn from him that there are 25,000,000 orphans in the country.

What a terrific organization and cause. Big surprise, Steven wants to visit the sites and learn more. Guess we’ll be going to India.

update: note from Nav this am. At last count they raised $340k last night.
