* FoV (Friends of Virasat) *

Dear Patron,

For last 15 years REACH (Rural Entrepreneurship for Arts and Cultural Heritage) has been working selflessly to bring culture at the center-stage by organizing Virasat at Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. Your patronage has helped it achieve the distinction of being one of the biggest multi-arts festival in the Afro-Asia region. As you know the event is organized by the youth and thereby it trains them to assume Eco-cultural leadership. All the presentations of the great artists and tradition bearers are free for general public.

However, for last two years, due to unprecedented financial crisis, it has become very difficult to hold this event. The support needed for this mammoth event has been interrupted and a sure closure is staring this festival of the people.

Under the above circumstances it has been thought to appeal to our enlightened patrons like you to help generate financial support. A new concept of FoV (Friends of Virasat) has been thought of which is given below in this message. As REACH has got tax exemption under 80G you can claim 50% tax rebate for your donation of Rs 5000/- for which a proper receipt/acknowledgement will be given to you. This will afford certain privileges to all the FoVs which is well enumerated in the link (FoV) given below.

We solicit your support so that our dangerous dependence on the governmental grants could be minimized to the manageable level. At present we intend to enlist only 1000 FoVs and hope you will be the privileged one. This year Virasat is from 21st November to 4th December 2009.

It will be my pleasure to personally answer all your queries.

With thanks
