Greetings!
As we always emphasize, ISW is the vibrant organization because of the tireless and selfless work our hundreds of volunteers put in for each of the events, at the school and in the background to keep the center running. To show our appreciation for their dedication and perseverance, ISW hosted a volunteer appreciation night on May 21st for our volunteers and their families (who have to put up with their second life at ISW) with a riotous evening of comedy entertainment by local entertainer, Preetesh Shrivastava. We are truly grateful for your commitment to ISW and thankful for all you do for the society.
Puneet Kohli, President, India Society of Worcester
