   On Friday, March 18th , We had a special visitor, Mr. Bakshi .come to our meeting. No one knew who he was at first, but soon we were very glad that he came. Mr. Bakshi read the article about our club and project and  he was so impressed that he wanted to donate the rest of the money,that we needed to build the school in India.   He presented us with a check of $1369.15 on behalf of the the Janta Sewak Society. One of the society members also came with him to give this check to us. The money that Mr. Bakshi donated was the final touch to our goal of $8500.00  

 Our Me to We group started this project in April  last year and we finally completed our goal! Mr. Bakshi says that we should be grateful we have school to go to and he also said that we should take care of the community because it will be better for further generations. We are very happy that our hard work finally paid off.   We  hope to help supply the school after we build it. 

Thank you to everyone who donated money! Below we have some pictures of when Mr. Bakshi came.

   Our volunteer committee organized  us to volunteer to play with the preschool at Sunset Community Center. On Saturday March 19th it will be  our last day of volunteering. This is our second volunteering project after the soup kitchen at the church.  Thank you committe members!  We enjoyed ourselves and gave back to the community.

     The local committee is planning to do another project for Covenant House. We already did two projects for Covenant House. The first project we did was to collect toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner for the youth. For our second project which was about a month ago, we collected toques and gloves because it was very cold and we thought that the youth at Covenant House would need more warm clothes. This time the local committee is planning to have a movie night to raise money for Covenant House. We will let you know when the movie night will take place after spring break.

Komalpreet will be ordering bamboo t-shirts for our group. These t-shirts will be electric blue with the slogan "Be the Change" written on them.  Please email Komalpreet if you want your own t-shirt.
