From Benita Mahanta:
My name is Benita Mahanta, and I am a board member of the newly formed Houston chapter of American India Foundation (AIF), a non-profit organization based in New York, California, and Delhi and founded in 2001 by former President Bill Clinton and former Prime Minister of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee after the 2001 earthquake in India’s state of Gujarat. AIF’s mission is to catalyze social and economic change in India, with a focus on public health, livelihoods, and education. The AIF Houston Chapter’s first event will take place May 16th, with a panel discussion on how innovative programs and cross-sector partnerships are impacting digital access in schools and improving maternal health in India.
As Shunya Theatre may have an interest in these topics, I invite your staff and performers to attend! If possible, would you be able to distribute the information on this event to interested parties within your network on our behalf, as well? Below is the event information for your reference.
