Generation Desi, a local Boston group that organizes social events for Indian students and professionals supported us through their bhangra party on Aug 25. 

The party was held at The Rack club in downtown Boston and Generation Desi donated 50% of the amount collected through ticket sales to Sahayta supporters.  We had a turn out of about 50 friends and volunteers. With Bhangra music and live dhol it was a great event.

 We thank Generation Desi for supporting Sahayta and we thank all our friends who were there to support us.

Sahayta organized a donation raffle at the India Day Celebrations on Aug 13th at the Hatch Shell by the Charles River. The celebrations featured dance/music performances, stalls selling Indian food, jewellery, art etc.

Sahayta put up a stall to promote awareness about the organization and also held a donation raffle to raise funds. Anyone who donated $5 automatically entered into a raffle to win prizes including a 30 GB video IPOD. Other prizes included $25-$50 gift coupons sponsored by various Indian stores and restaurants around Boston.

The event was quite successful and we were able to raise $928. We thank our generous donors and sponsors (Jewel of India, Kashmir Food and Spices, Rani, Gourmet India, Best Cellars, Citizens Bank, Solea) for supporting our cause.

Special thanks to Priya, Sayde, Vineet, Prateek, Saqib, Istvan and Tiffany for helping us out.
