Each year, all profits from Cultural Night are donated equally between two charities.

Each year the Cultural Night Committee look at the actions of various charities and the committee then chooses charities based on the worthiness of their projects and programs.

Cultural Night 2009 will be donating all of the profits from the event to the I-India Project and Bangladesh Disaster Relief Committee.

I-India Project is a branch of the I-India organisation which aims to keep homeless and impoverished children off the streets and through education, training and moral support aim to get them into employment and greatly improve

their future prospects and quality of life. At present the I-India Project is focused on the children of Jhag, a village near Jaipur, India.

After the successful completion and progress of a similar project in Jaipur, they are now building Jhag Children’s village, as they have appropriately named it, is under construction and requires donations to make it a complete success.

Their specific aim in the construction of the children’s village is to provide the kids with growing educational, health and well being opportunities through the provision of a School, which is due to open on July 1st 2009 and a Library which is still under construction.

Not only do they require help in funding the Library and School but they have many more projects at different stages of construction which also require financial aid.

The Bangladesh Disaster Relief Committee aims to build a permanent cyclone shelter in the coastal region so to minimise the impacts of future cyclones in a cyclone-prone area. The permanent cyclone shelter will be used as a housing facility and/or school during the times when a cyclone is not occurring.

50% of the proceeds of Cultural Night 2009 will be donated to this cause and as a committee, we believed that it was our duty to help out with this cause.
