FOR CHILDREN’S PRIMARY EDUCATION
April 27, 2011
As Indian cricket fans all over the world celebrated their cricket team’s marvelous display by winning the World Cup of Cricket, over 200 guests from United Kingdom, Switzerland and India attended a charity gala evening on Saturday 2nd April 2011. The event was held at the InterContinental Hotel in Geneva.
A fabulous event which allowed us to raise money for children’s primary education and health in Pomgaon, Shirvavali, Maripur (Maharashtra, India) and for the Assocation François-Xavier Bagnoud in Switzerland.
A magical evening with a difference. The glitz was provided by Sundrani Fine Jewellery with a stunning jewellery display, the culture was provided by Stephanie Czerski with her paintings on Abstract Expressionism and the glamour was ‘The Sounds of Mumbai’ by Narendra Kumar (India’s leading designer and SWISS international Air Lines India’s brand ambassador) – a fashion show with a dazzling display of colours, produced and choreographed by Mrs Arpana Sharma-Morjaria. The live entertainment was provided by Shivani, a beautiful and upraising singer from North London making her debut in Geneva. The charity auction was conducted by none other than Eric Valdieu of Valdieu Fine Arts and the whole evening was finely orchestred by William Pym, famous for his art of “making it happen”.
A variety of exquisite and beautiful items were generously donated at the auction, lucky dip and tombola. DJ Vikrant from India and DJ Gregory from Geneva ensured the party rocked till the early hours to Chak De India amongst other tunes.
Through the event, we raised CHF 43’110.30, as follows:
Night of the event (our sponsors, tickets and tombola): CHF 10’653.70
The auction: CHF 21’200
Donations around the event: CHF 11’256.60
This is a fabulous amount, and we would like to thank you again for helping children’s primary education and health through your generosity and support.
A special thank you to our partners and sponsors:

About Treasure
Treasure is a Swiss based Non-Profit Organization based in Geneva. Its aim is to promote and support children’s primary education and health in developing countries and in regions affected by war, natural disasters and diseases.
All members work as volunteers and the charity is something we do outside of our normal lives and careers. The organization has no salaries, or fees to pay to its members, so every cent raised goes directly to help children’s primary education.
It is of utmost importance to give today’s children a chance to get a good basic education. We do not want to change their family lives nor their social surroundings, but give them a chance, and the equal rights to education and opportunity to live peacefully and respectfully in this world.

IPG by Treasure
IPG was first started and founded in 2006. The idea started as they wanted to allow young professional Asians - Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, etc., to meet and network in a growing community in Geneva, which was not easily accessible to new comers.
In 2009, Treasure took over this group, keeping the same members and same concept, but by expanding it to not only Asians but also to everyone who like the Indian Sub Continent, who have professional or friendly interests in it, who want to meet Asians and network. This also allows Asians in Geneva to be more integrated in a very international and multicultural city.
These meetings are very friendly and many contacts are built. IPG is organized every first Wednesday of the month, at 7.30pm onwards and venues change.
Join the group or send us an e-mail on ipg@childrenaretreasure.org and we will be happy to see u next IPG!
