The Hindu American Foundation will be coming to Boston, and we want to see you there! This past Sunday, HAF celebrated its 10th birthday. You have allowed us to achieve so much in this time. From an idea that was discussed around a kitchen table in a Philadelphia apartment, HAF has now become the leading Hindu American advocacy group in the nation.
"The work that is being done is affecting people's lives," said Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) at HAF's California Gala Dinner, earlier this month. "It's not only empowering Hindus across the country and around the world to be proud Hindus, to worship in a free society...but it is also educating the greater population about truly what it means to be a practicing Hindu."
This type of recognition from our elected officials is a testament to the important working being done by HAF. Join us on Saturday, October 19th, and find out how you can do more for the local Hindu community in Boston.
Date: Saturday, October 19
Time: 2:00pm - 4:00pm (Snacks will be served)
Location: 11 Fairway Drive, Andover, MA 01810
