On Saturday I had the honour to attend a dance repertoire of Bharat Natyam. The event, presented by Jeevam Jyoti Productions, was held at the Kailash Mittal Theatre at Carleton University. The dance company is from California and they are travelling to different cities.
It was a wonderful evening and Keshav Goel, one of the young people involved in the event, raised $3,7450 for Shepherds of Good Hope. Thank you so much. We appreciate all the hard work everyone put in to ensure the event was a success.
Before the dance began, I had a chance to talk to the audience about the work we do at Shepherds of Good Hope. I spoke briefly to the audience after showing them a video about our organization. I also had the chance to award some certificates to people who regularly volunteer at Shepherds of Good Hope. We rely on hundreds of volunteers to help us provide services to some of the most in-need men and women in Ottawa.
Finally, thank you to Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi for his last-minute sweetening of the fundraising pot. It was great to see the MPP there and to have his support.
