Dear Reader,
Hope you are well.
I volunteer for Association for India’s Development (AID); a non-profit organization started by Indian graduate students in 1991 which has since spread to 40 chapters in the USA. In India it is active in Chennai, Orissa, Hyderabad etc. It focuses on addressing grassroots development issues by partnering with NGOs and advocates peace and social justice. As a volunteer of AID, I relish the opportunity to learn about the socio-economics of India, show solidarity and make a positive contribution.
Along with fellow AIDers, I will be running a 7mi leg in the San Diego Rock N Roll Relay Marathon on May 31st, 2009 to help raise funds for the projects AID San Diego supports. Please consider making a contribution at my running page and help me achieve my fund-raising objective of $500.
Warm wishes for a wonderful year ahead,
Rangasayee.
