"Let's Get Acquainted" dinner
Vancouver, BC on July 25, 2013
On Thursday July 25, 2013 78 people gathered in Vancouver to feast on a traditional Indian meal, and listen to Tania Didi and guests talk about One! International - founding of the organization, the work being done at the two schools in India, and the Health Program which is ensuring that "our" children and families in India receive the medical attention they need.
There was a talented guitar player, and two young dancers to entertain the assembled guests, and a wonderful Henna artist made a couple of young ladies very happy with her designs.
One! International has been very fortunate to have incredible support from the Katta family of Vancouver. In the summer of 2012 there was a Blog about Anjan Katta's "Top 20 Under 20" award. This dinner in Vancouver would not have been successful without the incredible support of Amrutha and Raj Katta. Amrutha did most of the cooking - with her group of supporters - and Raj sold most of the tickets for the event.

Daughter Anjali who will be helping out at the schools in India for the third time this summer, and who has already facilitated a huge fundraiser at her school, was a shining light at this dinner even though she was not present.
Anjali prepared a video message for the assembled guests. Her message which was played at the beginning of the evening set the stage for the rest of the proceedings. She is a passionate believer of the work being done in India by One! International and was able to verbalize that belief in a clear and articulate manner.
One! International is incredibly lucky to have the support of the Katta family. Saying Thank You, no matter how large it is in print, is clearly not enough. But, saying Thank You needs to be said.
