NetIP Austin, in partnership with South Asian American Leaders of
Tomorrow (SAALT), is participating in “Be the Change 2010” on Saturday
October 2, 2010 in honor of Mahatma Gandhi’s Birthday.
Be the Change is a national day of service, coordinated by South Asian
Americans Leading Together (SAALT), that is held on campuses and in
cities across the country. The event is based on Mahatma Gandhi's
inspirational quote, "You must be the change you wish to see in the
world," and provides opportunities for South Asians and others to give
back to their communities. In 2009, over 3,000 people contributed
6,000 service hours in 70 cities and campuses across the country.
