All those who could attend our exhibit yesterday, a big THANK YOU! We appreciate that you chose to spend your evening with us. We raised enough money for Pratham to sponsor educational materials for children in an entire village in India during this event!

Kudos to our team for a great show. The photos from the event will be up soon. Keep checking on us!

On Our Upcoming Exhibit…

studyabroadindia — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 04:21:16 +0000

We look forward to seeing you at the Gatewood Building atrium on Monday, April 26 from 5-7 pm. The group will share their architectural, cultural and personal experiences through audio-visual presentations.

During our travels in India, we were struck by the number of poor children on the streets who really should be in school. We think that we can make a difference in the lives of some of these children by raising money for their education through our exhibit. We will accept donations for Pratham, an organization working to provide quality education to underprivileged children in India at this event. You can read more about Pratham at http://www.prathamusa.org

This event is open to all, so please feel free to share this information with others. If you have further questions regarding the exhibit, contact the program leader, Tina Sarawgi at tina_sarawgi@uncg.edu
