Various events in Mumbai to mourn the dead and build strength for the future.
Each of us has different ways of asking questions. Some of us believe in Peace Marches, some believe we shouldn’t Vote, some of us want to light a candle. But all of this is for one cause. No matter what your belief, faith, questions, religion or region, come together to make yourself heard.
1) Make yourself heard.
On December 3rd at 6 p.m. at the Gateway of India in Mumbai, many voices will unite to ask the right questions.
2) Memorial Prayer Service at St. Xavier’s College - We invite you to a Memorial Prayer Service for all those who gave their lives in the recent Terrorist Attack on Mumbai.
