More Details on Event B:-
Asha, www.ashanet.org/london is a global, non-profit organisation aimed at improving the lives of underprivileged children in India. The great thing about it is that it is made up entirely of volunteers (there are no paid members) so all the money we raise (from fundraisers such as this) goes towards educational projects in India that we choose to support.

Last Two Years Diwali Parties were a huge success. This year's Diwali party (like the ones before) will basically be an evening of some great bollywood clubbing , amongst a chilled-out crowd, with some Diwali decoration and lots of enthusiasm to create that "Diwali" spirit! As an extra, we are having some (nice and cheesy) bollywood and bhangra lessons to kickstart the evening.

Tickets are only 14 pounds (if bought in advance) and as we have no overheads (in the form of paid members), all proceeds will go to charity. This year, our chosen project focus is a residential school for underprivileged children in Bengal. Pay by Paypal to ashabookings@gmail.com

Venue: The Saint Rose Street, Paternoster Square, London,EC4M 7DQ
Nearest Statioin - St Pauls/Bank
Time: 8pm - 2AM
Ticket on Door - £16
