Surdaan PROJECTS
Thanks all for your generous contribution to prior Surdaan events .It was an overwhelming support from all of you.
Pandemic
When pandemic hit the world, kids realized underprivileged kids got affected the most and they should continue the event using an online platform. This was a blessing in disguise as this was the opportunity to take this event globally to their family in India and other countries. First online event happened in Aug 9,2020. It was a great success. Families across the globe enjoyed the program and donated for the cause. 50% of the donations were given to North Texas Food Bank and other 50% was given to an orphanage in India called Aai Foundation. In August 2021, funds collected from India were donated to a shelter for HIV positive
