Hear firsthand stories from Khalsa Aid's humanitarian missions around the world and discover how the Sikh principles of Seva (selfless service) and Sarbat da Bhalla (well-being for all) continue to bring hope to communities facing humanitarian crises.

A Special Focus: Panjab Flood Recovery & Future Prevention

One year after the devastating 2025 floods in Panjab, Ravi Singh will provide an update on Khalsa Aid's ongoing relief and rehabilitation efforts, including rebuilding homes, restoring agricultural land, and helping families recover their livelihoods.

The conversation will also explore how Khalsa Aid is moving beyond immediate disaster relief to invest in long-term flood prevention, stronger flood defences, and community resilience, helping protect Panjab's villages, farmland, and future generations from recurring floods.
