Dinner to benefit Indian School Slated at Williams
11:46AM / Friday, March 06, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Rerua Dinner to benefit the Rerua Scholarship Fund will be held Thursday, March 12, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Williams College's Greylock Dining Hall.
The dining hall is located on the second floor of the Greylock Hall in the Greylock Quad.
Students will be able to donate their meal points. Members of the community are encouraged to attend; the cost is $13.55 for the buffet-style dinner, which will feature authentic Indian cuisine. The opportunity to donate funds directly to the scholarship will be made available at the dinner. All donation benefit the Rerua Scholarship Fund.
St. Alphonsus Rodriguez Church in Woodstock, Md., administers the Rerua Scholarship Fund. Through this program, people are able to donate funds to support the Loyola School, founded by the Rev. Walter Kongari in the Jamshedpur Province in northern India. The school aims to educate all children of the community, but because of societal hardships and poverty, girls are less likely to attend school.
This scholarship fund provides tuition, room and board, clothing, food, medicine and other supplies to girls. The Loyola School offers a place of hope for boys and girls alike.
Kongari and other Indian Jesuits have a strong relationship with the Maryland Province Jesuits, which includes the St. Alphonsus parish. This event is sponsored by Williams College Dining Services and participants include Unit Manager Molly O'Brien, head chef Dan Levering; sous chef Bette Phelps, Assistant Director Chris Abayasinghe, the Global Education Project and Williams Catholic.
