Manbir Gulati is a very dedicated problem solver. He is young but works as hard as any adult. He has stayed up late through his school nights just to create programs that would make someone's life better. Even with a full school load and helping his family through health crisis he has maintained his commitment to helping those who need help.

Manbir discovered that many seniors voiced their feelings about being left behind by this technical revolution. They found it hard to get all the information they needed regarding life affecting healthcare choices, financial help, social support, family connections, and jobs. Manbir joined his sister Sukhi and opened a non-profit organiztion to address this problem. Senior Net LLC has their mission which is to empower seniors and never let them feel helpless. He dedicates hours a day to construct instructional lessons, refurbish computers and build a website that will soon provide an interface so easy to use for seniors and so relevant to their needs.

Manbir gave up his entire savings that was set aside for a new computer and used it for helping to start up Senior Net.
