Galaata 2009 Sponsors
Udavum Karangal (Helping Hands) was started in 1983 by Mr.Vidyaakar in Chennai India. What started as helping an abandoned eleven month old baby, as a professional social worker, in the slums of NSK Nagar, has led to caring for the two thousand residents today. Udavum Karangal extends help and succor and a new lease of life to nearly 2000 orphans from new born babies to old dying destitute.

This organization is a strong believer of the adage "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime". Helping Hands provides for the medical, educational and training (required to earn a livelihood) needs of the children, women and men at the facility. In addition to the residents, the charity has adopted children from broken families in the neighboring villages and provides them education and food. The ISO-9001 certified organization is a 501 (c) 3 registered charity in the United States, making contributions tax exempt.
The Bay Area chapter of Udavum Karangal has been actively raising funds to support Udavum Karangal’s cause in India for over 6 years. They organize events every year to both entertain and encourage community participation. This being a completely volunteer driven chapter, has no administrative overheads and all proceeds from tickets sales and sponsorships are channeled back to benefit the family members of Udavum Karangal, Chennai.
Udavum Karangal’s signature annual spring event is Galaata. Galaata is very well attended with around 1500 in audience attendance. Galaata was conceptualized with the idea of promoting a fun and entertaining way to raise funds in support of a worthy cause.

This year Galaata the unique entertainment show of Bay Area is back on April 11th (Saturday) 2009 at Smithwick Theatre in Foothill College, Los Altos CA, from 4:30 - 10:00 pm. WITA Travels a consistent sponsor of events at Galaata has this year been elected as the Patron for the event. The volunteers of Udavum Karangal praise and appreciate all the support they have received from Lakshmi and Neetu owners of WITA Travels.
