Almost immediately, Chad Kymal, Chief Technical Officer and the founder of Omnex and President of the Amma Center of Michigan, swung into action. Kymal’s local Amma Center, a humanitarian and spiritual organization, pledged $1,000,000 to reconstruct 500 homes for the tsunami-affected areas in the South India states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Kymal and the entire international Amma Organization actively participated in massive relief operations in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Pondicherry. In February, 2005, Kymal visited the towns of Nagaptinam and Allapad. After returning from his February trip, Chad and the rest of leadership of the Amma Center of Michigan decided that they would adopt both towns and help the people of Nagaptinam and Allapad put their lives back together. Chad said, “In my opinion, what we are doing in Nagapatinam and Allapad is just a small gesture in the big picture, but we will do all that we can to help these two villages.” After returning from India, Chad began making presentations to various groups around the country to raise money for this cause. On April 15, 2005, Chad arranged a concert at a local high school to benefit survivors of the Tsunami. After spending much of the Spring of 2005 raising funds, in the summer of 2005, Chad and his family returned to southern India to build houses. Contact infomation: omnexweb@gmail.com
