Now our Bala Vihar children at Houston have an opportunity to contribute to this great cause by participating in this Program. Active participation by our children will make them avid readers while raising funds for a wonderful cause. Parents can participate by helping children find more sponsors at work or amongst friends. Let us participate whole-heartedly in this Read-a-thon, as a continued tribute to Pujya Gurudev on his Birthday.

All donations will be collected by CMH in September (date will be announced later). If needed, tax exempt receipts can be provided for these contributions.
