Lily Foundation appreciates your participation at Annual Dinner

On June 26, 2009, Lily Foundation held their Annual Appreciation dinner at FunAsia located in Richardson , Texas .  The event was graced with well-wishers and donors from all strata of the Indian community.   Cocktails and appetizers were served followed by a delicious spread of Indian cuisine.  The event was opened with a heart felt speech by the President of Lily Foundation, Mr. Anirudha Maitra.  This year’s program was particularly interesting as it involved the participation of young individuals who entertained the guests with beautiful songs and dances, as well as with an inspiring speech by one of them on her visits to two of the Lily Foundation Aalo Schools in Kolkata.  The audience was moved and the event ended with a feeling of satisfying warmth amongst the guests that led to a successful evening.

Mr. Banaj Kamal & Ms. Anjana Basu of Los Angeles, California are inspired to extend the new-age gift of computer education to the deprived remote village students in Paschim Medinipur. Vidyasagar Computer Center is the next Lily Foundation venture up for implementation in Kulbani High School, where 200 students are to get the familiarity training every year, with an expected 120 students graduating with basic computer education courses.

The Center is planned to be inaugurated late this year.

Lily Foundation appreciates the generous support in favor of running the primary and pre-primary level kids' schools in outlying areas where the prejudices still rule the life. The givers are: Mr. Pallab & Ms. Mita Chatterjee, Dallas for AALO# 10 Study Home in Akra-Santoshpur; Ms. Parbatee Deorajsingh, Dallas for AALO# 11 Study Home in Akra-Santoshpur; Mr. Anil Kumar, Bangalore for AALO# 7 Study Home in Narendrapur.
