When it comes to commercial real estate, a woman named Sudha Tokala recently purchased 4 buildings in downtown Wichita. Her purpose – non-profit to help the community. She used her own money to purchase the 4 buildings. However, there is a $125 million plan in which she is raising money and has some commitments toward it at this time.

Her purpose – she knows that there are a lot of teenagers who have limited options in the United States and it is especially so in Wichita. She has a desire to give back to the community – wanting to provide good jobs and the needed training to get these jobs for these youth. The buildings are to be educational centers in the arenas of medical and health where these youth can get certified to have these jobs.

As the writer of this article, I feel emotional about Sudha. To me, she is indisputably a hero – one of those people who is making a better world – so we can all have a better world.
