Dear Community Partner,

It is with great pleasure that we announce Raksha, Inc.’s 10th Annual Fundraiser, Ek Shaam Raksha Ke Naam (An evening benefiting Raksha).  Raksha has grown from a volunteer based community initiative to a community-based agency that plays a critical role in addressing violence against immigrant women and children.  In order to meet the full needs of our clients, Raksha’s work extends beyond crisis intervention to encompass a wide range of services including family and individual counseling, career assistance, medical and legal advocacy, language interpretation, as well as a youth program.

With approximately 100,000 South Asians within the metropolitan Atlanta area, the need for support, mentoring and education on issues such as family violence, divorce, healthcare and immigration has increased substantially. As the only social service organization focusing on the South Asian community in Georgia, Raksha’s goal is to raise $300,000 this year to support and expand our program in response to this rapidly growing need.

Raksha is pleased to invite you to participate in our annual fundraiser scheduled for September 20, 2008.  This year we will be hosting “The Rhythm of Ek Shaam - Idol 2008”, a singing competition. Raksha, Inc. is the first South Asian non-profit to be hosting such an event and is excited about this new venture. Sponsorship of this event will offer an excellent opportunity to market your services to over 1,000 South Asian community leaders as well as to the general public through media and advertisement. As Raksha strives to be a source of support for all South Asians who need a helping hand, we are in need of your help.  Your financial contribution will go towards funding the many free services provided to the community by Raksha.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.  Thank you in advance for partnering with us to open doors to a stronger and healthier South Asian Community.
