Just as in 2008, Fundación Asha-Kiran has taken part in the BollyMadrid Festival in Lavapiés, a cultural event that gathered, for the second year in a row, thousands of people in the streets of Lavapiés borough for three days (5th, 6th and 7th of june) with the aim of making the indian culture known through Bollywood movies, dance shows and a wide array of indian food. The organizers of the event also invited NGOs that, just as we do, work with disadvantaged social groups in India.
The public's response to the labor we do with vulnerable children in that country has been very positive; this shows, on the one hand, that we are slowly accomplishing our goal of bringing people closer to the reality of marginalized sectors of society, and on the other, awakening the desire to contribute to the improvement of these sectors' living conditions.
Aside from having Paola Dominguín Bosé as a visitor at Asha-Kiran's stand, we also had many Volunteers from several corners of Spain who brought their vitality with them so that our participation in the festival could be a success. This was done through the sale of indian articles, organizing children's workshops and talking to the public so as to build trust in our Foundation and our social endeavors.
To all – individuals, NGOs, businesses and Volunteers – who gave us a hand during this color-, joy- and hope-laden weekend: THANK YOU.
Any contribution – in any amount and of any kind – results in the widening of possibilities for our beneficiaries: vulnerable children, their families and their communities. We hope that these contributions will also result in a feeling of satisfaction in a public that is increasingly aware of the fact that their contribution – however small – is essential to build a better present and a better future for children who need and appreciate having a ray of hope in their lives.

If you're not familiar with us yet, you are invited to come closer to Asha-Kiran. We welcome you in advance to the vitality that shares vitality. We hope to see you again soon.
Uttam Módenes and Asha-Kiran.
