Fundraising for Shanti Microfinance
Story
Dear entrepreneurs, investors, geeks, marketers, bloggers and all other twitter addicts, this is not a fundraiser - it's a cool event where we just happen to donate all proceeds to our charity.
To get your name on the guest list, please make whatever donation your pocket permits. Please note that this event is restricted to just 40 people so make sure to get your name down fast. If you know you're unable to make it, please make a small donation anyway :)
Unfortunately donations can not be accepted on the door and unexpected guests will not get in unless their name is on the list.
Address: 17 Mercer Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9QJ. It's the black building on the left corner - at the junction
Time: 18:30 - 21:00
Our event is co-hosted with OpenSoho and will be held at the amazing Crazy Bear private members club. This months gathering will be restricted to 40 so make sure to get your name on the list now.
Even though Shanti is a non-profit microfinance charity, helping poor entrepreneurs in India, this is not a fundraiser - it's an event where we just happen to donate ALL proceeds to the charity. To get your name on the guest list, please make whatever donation your pocket permits. If you know you’re unable to make it to the event, please make a small donation on the site anyway.
Hear what the experts have to say:
David Ramm, our favourite lawyer in town, will talk about “The top 10 things to avoid as an entrepreneur”.
Leena Desai, works with the entrepreneurs in the slums of India and will talk about “How entrepreneurs can build a business with £100”.
Stick 9th March 2010 in your diary now, help us to raise awareness with your friends online and of course, dig deep and donate whatever you can afford to get your ticket to our party.
Where: Crazy Bear - 17 Mercer Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9QJ. It's the black building on the left corner - at the junction.
When: March 9th 6:30PM – 9:00PM

About Leena Desai

Leena has spent much of her time volunteering for numerous healthcare and rural developmental agencies including SOS Children’s Villages of India in Bhimtal (2006) and Projects Abroad in Argentina (2008).
