Prashant Fadia Foundation And The American India Foundation: Kite Flying Event

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO AUGUST 6TH DUE TO BAD WEATHER

The American India Foundation (AIF) would like to invite you to the event "Reach for the Sky" on Saturday, June 11, 2011 from 2 pm to 5 pm. Join us as we fill the sky with kites and the air with laughter on Spectacle Island, one of the Boston Harbor Islands. The event is hosted by the American India Foundationâ€™s New England Young Professionals Chapter (AIF NEYP) and is aimed at supporting education in India.

â€œReach for the Skyâ€ is a family event that begins with a beautiful ferry ride through Boston Harbor to the island. Once there, youâ€™ll have a chance to fly kites as well as indulge in other outdoor activities on the islandâ€™s sandy beaches such as Frisbee, volleyball and cricket. We will also have Indian snacks and refreshment provided by a well-known local restaurant. Those of you that attended last year will remember what a great event it was!

All proceeds go towards AIFâ€™s Learning & Migration Program (LAMP). LAMP gives children of migrant workers access to continuous primary education, preventing them from dropping out and promoting age-appropriate learning. The program has already reached out to 237,504 children in the migration prone areas of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, and Bihar.
