THE CENTRAL ASIA INSTITUTE

Berkeley High School Cafeteria
Featuring:  Student/Professional Musicians, Art Show, and Local Caterin
 
Students at BHS have formed a school club that is working to raise money for women's education in Afghanistan. The group has been very successful. A large group meets once a week. We have held two bake sales, which have raised over $600.00. 

We are holding a benefit to raise money for children in Afghanistan. All donations will be given to the Central Asia Institute, a non-profit organization started in 1996 by Greg Mortenson, the author of "Three Cups of Tea." Central Asia Institute's mission is to promote and support community-based education, especially for girls, in remote regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. 

The event will take place at Berkeley High School (in the cafeteria) on April 24th. To make this as successful as possible we need the help of the community. Tickets are available online through Brown Paper tickets (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/producer/20248) under the Afghan Girls Education Benefit. You can also R.S.V.P. through email, to amaliamourad at gmail.com. Tickets will be available at the door.
