HOUSTON: CRY, Child Rights & You America Inc, a non-profit that works towards ensuring underprivileged children their basic rights, will host their Annual CRY America Volunteer Conference in Houston on April 7 & April 8 at the Four Points by Sheraton Energy Corridor Hotel owned by Juuhi and Prakash Ahuja.

It will be attended by volunteers, Action Center leaders and staff including Patrick Bocco and Lipika Sharma and board members from all parts of the US and India.  It will be an opportunity for volunteers to share about their activities from the past year and discuss their plans for the upcoming year.  National plans and reviews will be highlighted by CRY India’s CEO Puja Marwaha and CRY America’s President Shefali Sunderlal.

Action Centers and volunteers will be recognized for their accomplishments and presented with appreciation awards.  Participants will attend informational workshops on all aspects of CRY America such as the grant process, projects, resource generation, and information technology.  Attendees will get to know each other better by participating in bonding activities and a fun Saturday night outing!
