›› AWA Outreach Program

The Outreach Committee began in 1982 as the social services arm of the AWA. Members meet to review and discuss proposals from charitable organizations within New Delhi (shelters, schools, health clinics, etc.) that desire AWA assistance. After conducting a site visit and assessment of the organization, the committee strives to address the needs of the organization within the scope of AWA's goals and guidelines. We also encourage AWA members to become a liaison with one or more of the organizations we assist.

In addition, The Outreach Committee is a resource for anyone wishing to volunteer their time and talents to those in need.

This committee meets every third Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. in the ACSA Party Room.

Note: If you are not an ACSA member, you must have a member sign you in at the ACSA Gate, unless the office has you on the committee.

For more information on Outreach activities, please consult your monthly newsletter!

The Operation Smile mission to Deesa, Gujurat, concluded on January 30.

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the AWA members, I was able to take two large suitcases full of soft toys to the mission...one for each of the 55 children who received cleft palate or cleft lip surgery. A few of the extra toys were given to accompanying siblings; the rest were saved for the next mission tentatively scheduled for West Bengal in April. On behalf of the children, thank you, thank you, thank you one and all.     -Gena Ericson
