9HQ
Exhibition in aid of the London
Chapter of the charity
ASHA for
Education.
This exhibition was conceived of by three artist
friends who share a passion for India. Through painting, print,
sculpture and photography The artists aim to convey something of the
exotic maelstrom that continues to fascinate and absorb them all.
A percentage of the proceeds from the exhibition will be
donated to the charity Asha for Education. Asha, which means hope
in Hindi, was founded in 1991 by a small group of Indian
born students at the University of California. They set up a voluntary
charity focusing on the development of basic education in rural areas,
in this way they could play role in the development of modern India.
From those small beginnings Asha has grown into a highly effective and
successful organisation with 66 chapters worldwide. Each one is
staffed by volunteers and concentrates on education and
other connected problems such as women’s issues and health care, the
separate groups of volunteers
work in rural communities all over India.
