November 17, 2018 Benefit Kirtan pictures
In our November Thanksgiving Kirtan, we raised upwards of $2000 including both on the night of the event and by direct donation to our chosen organizations by those unable to attend. These organizations have been well researched by our WYC activist team for efficiency and vision. For a list of these, click here
Please enjoy the photo album of that special evening. The collective voice of the chants united us in our vision of a sustainable world filled with the light of Love. We also joyfully celebrated Rudrani’s 80th birthday.
