Cultural Class in San Ramon
Hi, I am doing a cultural program for children teaching the values of ancient Indian culture. The curriculum focuses on various levels and will cover Slokas, Bhajans, Epic stories, and the significance of Indian festivals with primary emphasis on nourishing the values of our culture. Little kids have short attention spans, and will wander off or start doing their own thing if we lose their attention. So I will break the class up into lots of little sections with slokas, stories and other fun activities. I would like to take the opportunity to impart my knowledge and hence bring in awareness of our Indian culture through fun activities!
For more information, contact me in prasanna_kamaksh…@y…com

Fundraiser for Nepal Earthquake relief on Nov 1st.
It has been 6 months since the devastating Earthquake in Nepal. More than 9000 people lost their lives and over 23,000 were injured.
Nepal, is one of Asia’s poorest countries, and has little ability to fund a major reconstruction effort on its own.
It is expected that rebuilding the economy will need international effort over the next few years as it could “easily exceed” USD$5 billion.
This is our small endeavor to help those who survived. We look forward to your support!
