We received an update from our Hartford chapter about some fantastic fundraising work being done there.  Below is the message.  Keep up the great work Deepika!

“I thought you might be interested in the attached. This young lady, Deepika (and her family) has been supportive of all of our Hartford Area and University of Connecticut Asha and Starfish fundraising events for the past 2+ years in support of the Blind School. Deepika’s latest effort is to break the Guinness Book of World Records for assembling their official jigsaw puzzle and she has set up a fundraising page through Asha-Hartford, with all funds raised in support of the Blind School.
