Pakistan Flood Relief Fund Raising

Mississauga Kerala Association (MKA) is leading a fund raising program to help the victims of Pakistan Flood Disaster. Dhwani, a leading Indian music group will be performing a Charity Concert on Saturday October 2nd. It is a show designed to entertain the Indian and Pakistani diaspora. Majority of the songs will be in Hindi along with Malayalam and other South Indian languages. Dancers will also be performing to make the show more entertaining. Please see the web site and the Flier for more information.

MKA is a non-profit organization and we encourage all to come and enjoy the evening's program with your family and friends . One hundred percent (100%) of the net proceeds plus matching Canadian government funds will go to Pakistan Flood Relief. Please consider this as a humane cause and together we can make the difference.

    For those who want to donate amounts over $50, there are two more denominations of tickets of $50 and $100.
