Events
Asha Berkeley organises fund-raising events, fund-raising drives, and 'Awareness' lectures all year round. Our fund-raising events are a great opportunity to see the area's finest talents peform while making a contribution to a noble cause. Our fund-raising drives (such as Work an Hour) are a concerted effort to raise more money for specific causes and projects through publicity. Our 'Awareness' series invites prominent social workers, activists, entrepreuners and other personalities to give talks and presentations on issues that are close to our work.Upcoming Events
