Thanks to everyone for Oct 1st.

[Aditi Telang]

Hi all,

On the 1st of October, a group of Stanford students (SIA members) alongwith SAALT (South Asian American Leaders of Tomorrow) members volunteered to spend the day on a Bone Marrow donor drive and a visit to a senior citizens' home in honor of Gandhi Jayanthi.

I'd like to thank all the volunteers, performers and organizers who made the SIA-SAALT Be the Change day on October 1st a success.

 

The participants were:

 

Volunteers:

Rohan Khara

Rohan Kekatpure

Vaibhav Jain

Anand Jha

 

Performers:

Aman Govil

Aditi Kapoor

Ashwini Doshi

Abhishek Marwah

Ritimukta Sarangi

Nikhil Ravi

Shreekant Vaithilingam

Abhishek Bapna

Neha Kumar

Amritha Appaswamy

Deepak Shapeti

Vaibhav Jain

Madhuri C

Rashmi Raghu

Somik Raha

Tara Beteille

 

SIA management team:

Isha Sahni

Archan Padmanabhan

Karthik Palaniappan

 

SAALT management team:

Jason Sharma

Jigar Champaneria

Bindiya Vaswani

Subha Varadarajan

 

I'd like to mention that a team of Stanford students (names included above)  went to Lytton Gardens to perform for the senior citizens there. It was worth the time and effort to see their happiness at seeing these dances and hearing the bhajans. I'd like to say a special thank you to Aditi Kapoor and group, Somik Raha and Rashmi Raghu for putting up with last minute changes in plans and for being so gracious about it. 

I hope SIA continues to be a part of these volunteer programs and the SIA-SAALT collaboration can be continued in the future for other events too.

 

Thanks and regards,

Aditi

Hi all
While i didnt make it to the OCt 1st program
(primarily due to the 9 am start :)), but the oct 2nd
program was realy excellent, especially prof howards
short but insightful talk. Thanks to Somik for
arranging that and maybe sometimes later we can have a
longer talk/discussion session with him.

Also we should thank aditi telang for
organizing/coordinating the volunteering event on oct
1st.

cheers
