Students gathered on Wednesday night to perform a traditional Indian dance called Raas, which was one part of India week. This week students from the OU India Society are putting on multiple events to spread awareness of their culture and of the philanthropy they represent.
CRY America is a non-profit organization that believes in fighting for human rights and justice, especially for children. They also fund smaller organizations who build schools and distribute money to those who need it most. In the past, the society has raffled off a basketball signed by the OU men’s basketball team to benefit their previous philanthropy.
I enjoy our group because we’re all friends with a similar mind set and we’re here to not only promote our culture but to make a difference by providing funds to CRY America, said Roshan Patel, OUIS treasurer and zoology junior.
Throughout the school year OUIS will put on many fundraising events such as restaurant benefit nights, to benefit CRY America.
