General Projects Update as of September 29, 2009

The following are underway and will be occurring in the upcoming months:

Jakara Juniors Children’s Camps – Scheduled Saturday, October 24th, 2009.  Regions are being secured and signing on.  Be sure to make sure yours is represented. We are always soliciting new regions to join and looking for volunteers to strengthen existing ones.   Help us out on this year’s theme – “A Nation Never Forgets.”

Alliance For Justice Week – Scheduled first week of November.  Campuses are already getting engaged.  UCLA, UC Berkeley, UCI, UCD, UCSD, UCR, and San Jose State are already signed up.  We expect Fresno State, Sacramento State, Stanislaus State, and USC to follow shortly.  Get involved as we create a platform for all communities to be heard.

Remembrance Marches – Throughout California, we will be convening in early November to remember those lost during the Delhi pogroms of 1984.  We stand together as a nation in remembering the events and raising voice that we are still demanding justice.

Sikh Students Collaborative – Sikh Students Associations throughout California are coming together and getting organized.  From organized Gurbani Study groups with provided materials, to co-ed flag football leagues, to a joint float at this year Yuba City Nagar Kirtan, groups are beginning to come together to collaborate and mark a new chapter for Sikh student groups in California.  Make sure your group is on-board.

Sikholars: Sikh Graduate Student Conference – Bringing together our community’s expertise, this conference is aimed at those 25-35 and will be held at Stanford University from February 10-12, 2009.  For more information and for submitting a proposal PRIOR to November 15, 2009, visit www.sikholars.org

Details of each region to follow shortly.  Together, we are the movement.
