30 years of Asha’s work in Delhi slums
What an exciting and inspiring week of celebrations it has been on the occasion of Asha completing its 30 years of service to Delhi slums in the month of February! We were delighted to have our friends and supporters from across the globe to celebrate the thirty transformational years.
We take this opportunity to thank each one of our supporters for being a part of this wonderful journey. If not for your sincere support, achieving this milestone would have been impossible.
To mark the splendid thirty years of Asha’s work in Delhi slums, we had a week-long celebration of events starting from February 7 with the visit of HRH Prince Edward, Earl Of Wessex and concluding with the main event on February 10 that was received with much happiness and appreciation by everyone.
Asha graduates Chandan and Dilip beautifully presented the evening to the gathering, leaving everyone impressed with their emceeing skills. Women, children and students from the slums shared their powerful stories of change touching the hearts of the people present. Videos showcased of Dr Kiran and Asha’s thirty years of work summed up the inspiring journey of thousands of lives that have been changed.
It gives us immense pleasure to share the updates, powerful stories and pictures of the events with you.
