Last year, the JCU ASHA team collectively decided to donate to two charities in South Asia- Budge Budge Prathyasha Welfare Society and Animal Welfare Shelter.
We recently received some photos showing how our donations have been used and wanted to share them with you! We would like to thank everyone for their ongoing and invaluable support. It shows the incredible impact our contributions have on these communities in West Bengal.
The children in the photos below are from a small village in India called Sundarban. The photos display just some of the supplies the charity was able to provide including towels and hygiene products, school supplies, food, and planted trees to help them grow food. The charity also gave flowers to children who had birthdays in June and July🫶🏽
Let's continue spreading love and support to make an even bigger difference in the year to come!!
DESI NIGHT 2023 was an absolute blast! Turn up the volume as we bring you the highlights from the night💥🪩
Massive shoutout to Mad Cow Tavern for their incredible service ❤️🔥
