Badari Ambatti and his wife, Roopa Hhaprakash, moved from Bengaluru, India, to Garden City Park in New York about 10 years ago, and since then, they've made a home for themselves and their daughter, Shreya.
They're both volunteers with the Krishna & Gopal Subramania New York Association, an organization dedicated to "empowering future generations through cultural events, language preservation, and educational initiatives," according to its website.
