ASHA-Madison: Since its inception at UC Berkeley, Asha chapters have been started in some other places (details are provided in the ASHA home page at Stanford). Tarang, a local voluntary organization at Madison, was assimilated with Asha in 1995, in order to coordinate the efforts better and channel the resources efficiently to organizations in India. Asha-Madison is a registered non-profit student organization with the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Activities: Asha-Madison contributes monetary support to various voluntary organizations in India. The money is collected through contributions from people and some fund raising events. Our activities in the last four years have included several collection drives for used clothes, selling greeting cards for "Child Relief and You (CRY)" and penny collection drives to meet our goals.
We work with other Asha chapters, Share and Care (NJ based), Handicare International (Canada) and Volunteers in Service of Education in India (VSEI), and Child Relief and You (CRY) and have supported several literacy projects including the following:
