My first step!

Finally I attended my first ASHA meeting! I attended it this Sunday. We discussed on how to raise funds for projects back in India. We are much better positioned to do this, being in US. ASHA Detroit has around 12 active volunteers (will be 13 once I get active ;-)) raises around USD 25,000 each year, to support 4 projects in India.

This year, we are organizing TARANGINI (a musical and dance event), 5K walk/run, Table Tennis and Volleybal competitions. As my first step, I would concentrate on making TARANGINI a success. Would be trying to promote the event, sell tickets, and get sponsorships. Hoping for the best. Sreeraj is giving me company in all this. He also believes in making a change!!

I have been wanting to do this for a long time now. Finally got energinzed enough to quell all the laziness! Hey kaddu, hope you are happy! Get well soon now, and start giving me tips!!
