We Raise Hope Gala NYC: Alberto Luzzi & Yogmata Keiko Aikawa

My name is Alberto Luzzi and I am a jewelry designer. And tonight I'm at the Metropolitan Club for a beautiful gala. To support We Raise Hope, a charity that my co-founder started in 2016. I'd like to introduce Kawa, Keiko Aikawa. Nepal is Himalaya, so I'm connecting Himalaya. I practice Himalaya deep meditation. So I feel Nepal is my first stop. Yeah, so she said that Nepal is her soul. In the last 11 years I had the privilege to build a hospital, which operates now since last March, a surgical room as well. Three IT schools for computer literacy. We have one kindergarten where we have currently 72 children. His charity has been a big part of his life, the way he does business, and it's one of my favorite things about him, his generosity, his love for people. I brought drinking water, clean water for 429 families, and also irrigation water for the farmers. She respects the people who are supporting Nepal, and that is a beautiful place, beautiful people, and she's really honored to be here. It has been 10 years of my life, it's 11 years now, but I would say probably the most beautiful time doing things with purpose, doing things with meaning. So that's what we are doing tonight here at the Metropolitan Club. Gathering those beautiful souls and beautiful people. They think that they want to take part of something good. So as Alberto's business partner and good, good friend, it's very important to be here to celebrate this gala dinner with so many amazing people and for such a beautiful cause. This is a very, very important night because Nepal is all on our minds because of the terrible, terrible tragedy there that recently happened.
