Recently a fundraising event was held in Des Moines, Iowa to support victims of the November 26 terrorist attack in Mumbai. The event was primarily a winter sports event with table tennis, carrom and chess as the main attractions. The response to the event was wonderful with over 150 people from various nationalities coming together to lend their support to the cause. In addition to the games they were six food stalls serving a wide variety of Indian dishes such as chicken curry, chole, samosas, pav bhaji, and biryani.
A whole group of people came together to organise the event, which raised $2100! This money will go to the NGO BCPT who has a clear plan in place to help the people affected by these attacks.
GiveIndia and BCPT thank all those who came out on a cold wintery day for this cause!
That is just so highly appreciated. Here in india, people have moved on and the hottest topic is slumdog and economic recession

This is definitely a show of pure selflessness by the far-off concerned citizens. It is very encouraging for the young ones staying in country to boost the unity & fight against terrorism using non-violent means
