STAFFORD: The ‘Save Kerala’ fundraiser hosted by Dr. Sunanda Nair of Sunanda’s Performing Arts Center was a beautifully curated show for an important cause. It took place on Saturday, September 15, at the Stafford Civic Center. Kerala experienced a devastating monsoon this year, which caused many people to lose their homes and livelihoods due to flooding. The victims of the floods will need all the help they can get to recover from this traumatic experience. This fundraiser aimed at collecting funds to reach out to students who are in need for school supplies and books. Many schools were converted into shelters and camps so schools are also in a dire situation.
