Plymouth Balvihar is a non-profit organization that has been
serving the children of the Asian Indian community since 1987.
It was known as "CMW Audubon Balvihar" until it was
converted to "Plymouth Balvihar" in 1997. The organization
is managed and run by volunteers from within the Plymouth Balvihar
community.
As Asian Indian parents in the US, we have a responsibility
to pass along the rich heritage that we have been fortunate
enough to inherit. A community of parents collaborating to
provide our children with a nurturing environment that helps
them grow up to be proud of their heritage and the children
who make us prouder with each passing season is the Plymouth
Balvihar!
Our activities are held mainly in Plymouth Meeting - Blue
Bell area outside of Philadelphia where most of our members
live.
Hundreds of children have attended Plymouth Balvihar since
1987. Their proud parents are a testimony to Plymouth Balvihar's
success.
