FOREST PARK: Usually naming a street sign is a posthumous activity. However, a Mangalorean activist and humanitarian here has received a street sign honor as, “Honorary Dr. Austin Prabhu Way” in Forest Park. This is the first time it has happened in the case of an Indian born leader in the United States.
It was a memorable day in Forest Park for the Mayor, Village Council and Citizens of Forest Park. Mayor Antony Calderone read the proclamation naming the part of Dunlop Avenue in Forest Park to a dedicated humanitarian Dr. Austin Prabhu. The Mayor appreciated Dr. Austin’s challenging work and humanitarian spirit and explained to the crowd why he deserves this street sign.
Dr Prabhu thanked his family and those who helped him to reach his successes in life. He said, “let us make our religion ‘Love and Share.’ When we love our neighbors and our community and share their needs whatever way we can, spirit of giving uplifts humanity. If all of us in this world do the same, this world will become a better place to live for tomorrow.”
Some of Dr. Austin’s family members and friends joined in this celebration and congratulated him for this achievement.
