A Carnatic Theatrical event to support education of underprivileged children in India

Enchantment

Asha for Education – Madison Chapter is hosting Enchantment, a Carnatic theatrical – a fundraiser event full of mesmerizing performance by renowned international artists!

*ENCHANTMENT! is the story of the music and the lives of sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar and violin wizard Vidwan Lalgudi Jayaraman.
*With music, drama and dance, Dr Gowri Ramnarayan skillfully creates a play-performance with incidents and anecdotes from the lives of these two great musicians.
*Central to this is her interest in exploring how their very different life experiences and temperaments influenced the music of each.
*Their journey is visualized with their own original music compositions.
*Brilliant actor V Balakrishnan, superb dancers Sheejith Krishna and Jyotsna Jagannathan, as also playwright, musician and award winning director Dr Gowri Ramnarayan, lead the audience into the magical world of the master artists.

All proceeds from this event will go to the projects in India supported by Asha Madison.

Asha for Education focuses on catalyzing growth and progress through the powerful tool of education for under privileged children. To that effect, we have worked on projects like Nirmaan Organization in Hyderabad which helps school dropouts and underprivileged students in rural areas of Telangana by providing career counseling and mentorship programs, and Unnati Foundation in Bangalore which has been working towards transforming the underprivileged, unemployable and below poverty level youth and making them economically independent. Most recently, we supported a project by CHIP Mumbai focusing on mentoring underprivileged children and facilitating them with equitable and state-of-the-art learning opportunities with classrooms equipped with digital aid, benefitting about 500 students.

Asha for Education – Madison Chapter would like to continue our support to these projects. In particular, through this event we are looking to raise a total of $2000 to support Nirmaan Organization‘s work for the year 2019-2020. We will greatly appreciate any donations during the event.

If you enjoy the evening, please consider a donation of $10 or higher or support Asha by sharing our work in the community.

If you cannot attend in person but would like to support the cause, please consider an online donation here.
