A Symbolic Journey of Love and Empowerment 
Today, we mark a momentous milestone in our journey as CHORD celebrates its Silver Jubilee, a remarkable 25 years of dedication towards creating a better tomorrow. 
With immense pride, we share that CHORD has successfully accomplished its commitment of undertaking and executing 25 projects during 2023-24, as a symbolic gesture of our unwavering determination. Today, we stand together as a united CHORD family, cherishing the fulfillment of this incredible achievement, culminating in a climactic bonanza. 
We had the immense privilege of welcoming Sri. Kadali Sreeman, Vice-President of Supergas, our first Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) donor in 2004, as the Chief guest of this momentous day. His heartfelt congratulations to the CHORD team and heartfelt tributes to the management speak volumes of the robust, credible, and sustainable NGO we have become. Together, we have educated over 18,000 children and provided skill training to more than 10,000 young individuals. 
His thoughtful words of counsel resonated deeply as he urged our children to be inquisitive and to live beyond their comfort zones. Asking questions, exploring new horizons, and embracing challenges will pave their path to a brighter future.
Founder Mr. Suman Malladi shared the arduous yet inspiring journey of CHORD, highlighting the trials and triumphs we faced along the way. Ms. Manjlatha, our beloved Director, reminisced about her invaluable memories and learnings over the last 25 years. It is the unwavering commitment and dedication of every CHORD team member that has paved the way for our astounding growth.
We are immensely grateful to our wonderful team for sharing their amazing experiences, joy, and contentment in being part of CHORD’s transformative trajectory. Together, we have made a lasting impact on the lives of countless individuals, and today, their talents and achievements were showcased through an enchanting song and dance performance by our resilient children. 
Today has been an emotional and memorable day of celebration, filled with joy and warmth. As we sat down to savor a sumptuous lunch together, our hearts were filled with gratitude for the support and love we have received from our community, partners, and well-wishers. We will continue to grow and flourish, empowered by your faith in us, as we strive to bring positive change to communities far and wide. 
Join us in celebrating this extraordinary journey and being a part of something greater than ourselves. As we embark on the next chapter of CHORD’s story, let us together create a future filled with endless possibilities, hope, and love. Long live CHORD!
