Why We Are Celebrating #ANOKHI20 This Spring:

The reason we are looking to start our fabulous campaign in month is two-fold.

Firstly, May is South Asian Heritage Month and we are aligning our celebrations accordingly in order to accomplish 3 specific things: amplify our awareness as a South Asian culture and success during the time when the community is being spotlighted in mainstream society in North America. Provide social and networking opportunities.

Secondly May is also Mental Health Awareness Month. This year we are proud to support CAMH’s South Asian initiative by raising the awareness of mental health within our South Asian communities and donating proceeds from ticket sales.
