| Publisher Description: When the challenges of life pin you between hopelessness and despair, "Are You Dancing in the Rain?" will inspire you to draw strength from within. This book portrays the life journey of a young Indian boy whose odds for success began stacking against him at birth. But rather than give up, he relied on his faith in God and learned to appreciate every extended hand and every lesson in each trial. As a result, he was motivated to establish Proverbs226, a non-profit agency that helps over 5,000 inmates' children in four states stay in school and secure funds for college tuition. Through on-site programs at prisons, the organization engages children with their parents incarcerated in North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and South Dakota.Cyril Prabhu served as senior vice president for Bank of America where he has developed integrated business and technology strategies and solutions for nearly 25 years. A certified Six Sigma Greenbelt, he has been presented the bank's Award of Excellence received by only the top 1% of associates. One team he managed as chief designer has been credited with building the information pipeline for Global Commercial Banking.Raised by a single mom in a nation where divorce was practically unheard of, Cyril overcame his hardships with the loving help of family, friends and perfect strangers. As he embraced circumstances over which he had no control, God's favor surrounded him and people rallied to his aid. After relocating his family from India to California, a senseless crime jolted his image of the promised land. But rather than become bitter, he founded an organization to help prisoners' children beat the odds by going to college instead of prison.

ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS BOOK WILL BE USED TO FUND COLLEGE TUITION FOR INMATES' CHILDREN. |
