The city of London came alive recently with purpose and hope as Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care (SRLC) hosted a breath-taking event in support of SRLC Mission Africa.

Attended by over 200 philanthropists, thought leaders and changemakers, the gala showcased the powerful impact of SRLC’s work across 16 African nations. Guests expressed their wonder at the breadth of charitable work being done, and many felt fellow philanthropists should get to know more about the remarkable projects being implemented across some of the most deprived regions of African countries.

The event was graced by the Founder of Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur (SRMD), Enlightened Master, spiritual visionary, and humanitarian leader, Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji.

An Immersive Evening of Inspiration

The event also featured an engaging art exhibition, “Brushed by Dreams,” showcasing paintings by African children alongside immersive elements such as a water walk and uji tasting.

Captivating performances added a vibrant touch to the night. Globally renowned mentalist and magician, Marc Spelmann dazzled the audience with his unique blend of illusion and mind-reading, while the Gold Vocal Collective delivered an electrifying a cappella performance.

Guests expressed admiration for the evening’s message and impact. Founder and Chairman of London Town Group of Companies, Koolesh Shah, reflected, "Africa is a continent that needs all our love and affection. The Gala amplified this and inspired us to be part of this journey."

Accomplished thought leader, writer, lecturer and broadcaster, Professor Atul K Shah PhD FCA shared, “I'm a Professor of Finance but I learned something new; this idea that in charity, you can actually profit maximise, not in a material sense, but in the sense of having purpose and meaning in life, which lifts you to levels that you never knew you could go to.”
