Publicity: At many events, especially Indian events, we set up an information booth on Asha and its projects in India, with the intention of raising awareness among the local populace. We also sell merchandise like calendars, T-shirts, mugs, greeting cards – often made by school children who are benefiting from our projects in India. To get visibility in the local media, members participate in talk shows on the radio and press releases are sent out before our events. Presentations
