Dr. Amit Taggarse purchased a 50 acre ranch in the town of Edinburg, Texas with the plan of developing a park for underprivileged children from surrounding towns where they can learn how to fish the pond that is part of the park, learn to care for animals, develop comradery with other children, have some picnics and enjoy their time at the park
His motivation came from his parents (late Dr Sudha Taggarse and late Dr Kishore Taggarse) who had done similar things back in their home country of India. They were passionate about helping underprivileged children, their parents, their staff at the hospital and the society in general. Dr. Amit imbibed those qualities from his childhood and had this idea of creating similar facilities in USA and in India
The passion and motivation that Dr Amit imbibed led him to the idea of creating BPP in 2021 and culminated in deciding to donate a 10-acre lot within the ranch for the creation of Bloom Parks and Projects (BPP). Initially it will be leased to the nonprofit and eventually the ownership will be transferred to the nonprofit.
A board of directors was formed in Nov. 2021 and meets bi-monthly to discuss the progress, plans etc.
A nonprofit business account has been opened with US Bank for depositing donations and reimbursing any labor that may be hired to work in BPP.
All members and directors work on a voluntary basis.
Install irrigation system to water existing and future trees, plants. Provide water to animals (water tank and basic components are already purchased)
Harden the small animal cages used for rabbits, guinea pigs, tortoises, birds etc.
Get estimates for constructing a small office structure to use as the office for BPP staff. Architecture should allow for extension of the premises for a cafeteria and meeting place
If enough funds are collected then hire a temporary/part-time hand to supervise watering system, animals etc. Currently, the animals are being taken care of on a voluntary basis.
