Dear friend:

It is with a heavy heart that I write to share the news of the passing of a dear member of Children's Hope India's family, Sham Lund, husband of former president and executive board member Kavita Lund. For decades, Sham and Kavita have been stalwart supporters and dear friends to Children's Hope India. We are all grieving and share our deepest condolences with the entire family.

As a mark of respect, we have made the decision to postpone CHI's fall Gala, "Ragas & Rhapsodies: A Virtual Celebration of Resilience" to Sunday October 4 at 7pm EST, with a second streaming of the gala for Indian supporters on October 5 at 6pm IST. For now, we take a pause to mourn this loss.

It is our hope that, in early October, we can come together to honor the community and the vulnerable children we support.   

If you have already registered for the Gala, please rest assured that your registration has been carried over to the October 4 event, and we will follow up with you the day before with the event link. Thank you for your commitment to Children's Hope India and for your understanding during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Dina Pahlajani, M.D.
President
Children's Hope India
