Shri. Totaram Bhojraj Lulla, a renowned name in the field of taxation, migrated in 1947 to India along with his father, mother, brothers & sisters after leaving behind well earned money & well settled property. His family was staying at Shikarpur in Sindh Prant. He was one of the lakhs of Sindhi people who fortunately could save their lives in spite of slaying in the train from Sindh to Gujrat.
Born on 12th Oct 1935, he completed his post graduation of Law degree from Govt Law College, Mumbai. For his fees & expenses, he sold toffees in local trains of Mumbai. As a Sales Tax inspector from Mumbai he was transferred to Kolhapur & then to Sangli, where he started practice in taxation in the year 1958, after resigning from the Sales Tax Department.
Due to his calm, quiet & non greedy nature, he became "DADDY", not only of his two sons but also of entire community. A book "Sindhu te Krishna" was published when he was 71, to present before the Maharashtrian Community about the struggle faced by entire Sindhi's at the time of partition. He passed away on 28th Sept 2010 leaving behind his wife, two sons, grandson & grand daughters. The achievements in his life are commendable.
After achieving success in the field of taxation since 1980 & also in the field of Land Development since 1995, Adv. Kishor Lulla decided to diversify his activities towards social & charitable purposes in the year 2010 immediately after sad demise of his father on 28-Sept-2010. In other words, he realized where to stop earning & come out of day to day engagement in business & profession at the age of fifty. His vision is to support the Genuine Non Government Social Organizations not only by monetary help but by providing them knowledge of running the organizations successfully in every aspect. The ultimate aim is to form a "Federation of NGO's" which should create a pressure group over the ill elements of the society. From 2014 onwards the foundation has decided to work in the field of primary & secondary education.
Our mission is to support the Genuine Non Government Social Welfare Organizations (FSOW) not only by monetary help but by providing them knowledge of running the organizations successfully in every aspect.

why i'm a member: Mike Johnson
Mike Johnson was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. His father, Frank, was a computer engineer and his mother, Helen, a retired real estate agent. Mike grew up in a small Baptist church where his family faithfully attended. As a seven-year-old boy, Mike accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior after conversations with his parents.
stories and the Bibles
There are two things Mike vividly remembers as a child growing up in this small Baptist church. First, his family was at church almost every time the doors were open. Second, once a year, a man would come to speak about Bibles. As a child, Mike had a hard time following everything the speaker would say, but one thing was clear, the speaker was going to start with a story that typically had a happy ending. The stories intrigued Mike—they involved a person's life that was forever changed, turning to Christ as a result of reading God's Word. He recalls sitting on the pew as a typical, fidgety child, anticipating the story and absorbing every word.
On one occasion, Mike was again fascinated by one of the stories, and he felt a leading of the Holy Spirit. He didn't know where, when, or how, he knew one day he would be the person telling these stories to others.
Public Speaking Class in College
In the late 1970's, during Mike's second semester of his junior year of college, he needed an elective to complete a full load for the semester. Mike went to a small liberal arts college and the selection for electives was limited. This particular semester he had only one option—public speaking. Mike had no desire to take public speaking, but he had no other choice if he was going to graduate on time.
Mike entered his public speaking course with great reluctance. The plan was to keep a low profile, get by with doing minimal speeches, and finish the course with a C-average. On the first day of class, Mike observed three things about the professor: he enjoyed teaching, had a gift for it, and he recognized Mike as a reluctant student. The professor taught Mike to write out his thoughts in a way others could understand, verbalize thoughts in a way others would listen, and control his nervousness to provide a smooth delivery. By the end of the semester, Mike felt confident enough to deliver a prepared speech and ended up with an A in the course.
Mike graduated from college in 1982 and found that jobs were scarce. He decided to enlist in the United States Navy, where he repaired medical equipment for the next eight years. After this, Mike began to work for hospitals employing the same skill set he acquired in the Navy - biomedical engineering.
Membership and Ministry with The Gideons
In the fall of 1996, Mike and his family moved to a mid-sized community in Florida, where Mike started a new job. The family found a church home, and Mike met a man who would influence his life more than he could ever imagine. The man's name was Len Plisk, an older man, now deceased, who was the president of a Gideon camp. Mike observed that Len was a passionate follower of Jesus, practicing what he preached.
Mike sharing with a church congregation how God is using The Gideons International.
As an engaged Gideon, Len took Mike to a membership dinner and Mike answered God's call to join the Association. "One of the best aspects about being a Gideon is the ability to take skills learned in the workplace and use those skills to glorify our Lord," says Mike. "Our camps require skilled treasurers (accounting), presidents and vice presidents (administration), computer and media skills (IT), promoters and speakers (marketing), church relations (customer service), and other skills." Mike's advice to fellow believers is to be faithful in following the Holy Spirit's leading.
One month after joining, Mike qualified to begin giving presentations in churches. Within two months of joining, he spoke during a service on a Sunday evening at a small church with about 20 people in attendance. Mike told a story of a man who had stumbled through life without direction, a plan, or hope, until a Gideon gave him a New Testament. The man accepted Jesus Christ as His Lord and Savior, forever changing his life. At the end of the service, an offering was taken up that amounted to US$67.00.
"One of the best aspects about being a Gideon is the ability to take skills learned in the workplace and use those skills to glorify our Lord."
As Mike drove home that evening, he looked at the small gray envelope that contained US$67.00, funds that would go completely toward purchasing Scriptures, so people will have the opportunity to read the greatest story ever told—the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. Mike stopped the car and began to sob, realizing the Lord had taken him on an incredible journey to get him to this point.
"It had always been about the Lord," says Mike. "God was present with me as a child, as a college student, and in that car. It is not about Mike, it is about God and what God can do in and through a person for His glory. It is about being obedient to what God has called you to do."
In the 21 years following his first church presentation, Mike has had the privilege and honor to speak in many churches to thousands of people, but the message is still the same. "It's never about me, it's always about Christ."

An official fund has been established for fallen MPD officer Charles Irvine Jr., the department announced Tuesday.
MILWAUKEE -- The man accused of leading police on a chase that led to the death of Milwaukee police officer Charles Irvine Jr. pleaded guilty as part of a deal with the state Thursday.
Ladell William Harrison changed his plea on six different counts to "guilty" as part of the deal. Those charges include manufacturing and delivering narcotics and charges related to the crash that killed Irvine Jr. Six other charges were dropped altogether.
Sentencing has been scheduled for April 4, 2019 at 1:30 p.m.
Harrison was known to police as a suspected drug dealer and was out on bond from a previous offense at the time of the fatal crash , a criminal complaint shows. He was originally charged with 12 separate counts, including manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance, delivery of Schedule I or II narcotics, fleeing/eluding an officer resulting in death, bail jumping, and knowingly operating a motor vehicle while revoked.
Police had been investigating Harrison at least since late 2017, when he was connected to a fentanyl overdose death in Waukesha County. Undercover officers staged drug buys with the suspect on multiple occasions.
On the day of Irvine's death , Harrison was driving eastbound on W. Silver Spring in front of the officer's squad car. According to the complaint, Officers Irvine and Matthew Schulze ran Harrison's license plate, and attempted to perform a traffic stop when the light they were at turned green.
Harrison sped off at that point, driving as fast as 96 miles per hour. He later told investigators he was afraid of getting pulled over because he had a gun in the car and was driving on a revoked license, the criminal complaint says.
Harrison was arrested by officers later in the day after fleeing yet again when undercover officers attempted to arrest him. According to the complaint, the suspect had been released on bond for a previous operating while revoked offense at the time of the crash.
