Badari Ambatti and his wife, Roopa Hhaprakash, moved from Bengaluru, India, to Garden City Park in New York about 10 years ago, and since then, they've made a home for themselves and their daughter, Shreya.

They're both volunteers with the Krishna & Gopal Subramania New York Association, an organization dedicated to "empowering future generations through cultural events, language preservation, and educational initiatives," according to its website.

The Ambattis are originally from Karnataka, a southern state in India, and they've been active in the community since arriving in the US.

They've raised more than $1 million for various causes, they tell the New York Daily News, and they've even been nominated for a Presidential Service Award.

Shreya Ambatti, meanwhile, tells the paper that her parents "were always very active in the community" and she "learned so much" from them.

She says she hopes to be a doctor, and Badari Ambatti tells the Daily Read the Entire Article
