exhibition by the students of Richmond Hill High School. In Digital Stories, students exhibited pictures they took of their family and community, including temples and schools.
Jasdeep Kaur and Gurvinder Kaur earned some lusty cheers as they danced to a medley of bhangra-based music. There were also Latin and break dance performances. The proceeds from a henna stall at the location went to Cherish our Children International. The students from Richmond Hill High School also exhibited T-shirts they had designed, the proceeds of which went to charity.
Sharmin Hossain and Snedden Monteiro, SAYA! youth, emceed the afternoon event. Udai Tambar, SAYA! executive director, welcomed the crowd with memories from his time at SAYA! 12 years ago. 'Today is a culmination of the hard work and talents of so many people. I am thrilled at what the youth have accomplished this year,' he said. New York state Senator Jose Peralta congratulated SAYA! for a successful academic program that raised students' SAT scores an average of 200 point.
