Prakash Poornan has always believed that structure and community are the foundations for a thriving economy, country, and even for the individual people themselves. Poornan understands that there are people out there that are in less fortunate positions than others, whose lives have not gone as well as they would have liked. Poornan believes that anyone who has both the good fortune, and ability to help those in need, that it becomes their moral obligation to do so. That is why Poornan spends much of his free time and money giving back to the community and people who have given so much to him.

Prakash Poornan volunteers at several local churches throughout his quaint community in Oklahoma. Poornan enjoys volunteering there, as he gets to work closely with the children of the community. Poornan also donates and helps prep food for the churches as well, food that will help to feed those seeking both god, and perhaps just a warm meal and the comfort of friends. Poornan knows how crucial a support system like church is to the surrounding communities.

Not stopping at the present well-being of the community, Prakash Poornan is invested in the future of it as well .Prakash Poornan has helped to host numerous fundraising events for PBS.org, including raising awareness for PBS itself, and the services it attempts to provide. Poornan also utilizes his understanding of cutting edge technology and computer programming to help PBS make the difficult transition from being solely television based, to having a strong online presence.

Poornan does this because he knows that establishing a strong and stable online fan base is pivotal in the modern age to a program like PBS's success. By providing a helping hand, Poornan invests in a proper education for children, and hopes that PBS will spark an interest in learning to the generations to come. Children are the future, a fact Poornan knows well, that is why when he invests in organizations like PBS, to help ensure that it's a bright future, one that understands the value of knowledge and community. Poornan knows that in order to do all of this he has to take the first step, and lead by example. Only then will the community follow.
