MyWestTexas.com - Six honored for philanthropic efforts: "The 16-year-old Charleston, S.C., native has been teaching Indian children since he was 12 and has been raising funds for them since age 14. In about seven months, he is to return to India to continue his mission.

In recognition of his efforts, Kuppuswamy received last year the William R. Sims Award for outstanding youth in philanthropy.

Kuppuswamy was the keynote speaker Thursday at an awards ceremony sponsored by the Permian Basin chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) in celebration of National Philanthropy Day."
