Hello everyone, what a wonderful day it was today. Our dearly beloved Harish Rao, a long time friend and governing board member of Friends of Asha Australia brought along 3 of his Australian friends Phil, Chris and Adam, to Asha’s Chanderpuri center this afternoon.
They braved the heat, and spent a wonderful time engaging with the members not only of Chanderpuri, but many other Asha slum communities within a radius of about 5km, where we carry out various programs.
Among many other members, they met prospective students who Asha has begun preparing to go to Australia in the coming two years.
Enthusiastic interactions with the women’s association members who shared many stories, including how they suffered so much during Covid and received all help from Asha.
Students were attending online classes, doing their homework and assignments, using you tube resources to learn English, and much more
With our wonderful students, including many who are in the preparatory phase of traveling to Australia for a Masters. Sunny, Juhi, Parvez and Fazia will hopefully reach Australia by 2023/2024.
Chris Elstoft and Amitava: you have both been working so hard with these students, and today it was exciting to witness their enthusiasm. I am sure they will be in Australia not long from now, under your leadership. What a wonderful movement!
