YOUTH GOPIO TAKES OFF

Youth Gopio had an event on Friday May 19th consisting of over 80 High School going teens in the New York area. Other than networking with other High School students, Youth GOPIO's goal is to donate sufficient funds for charitable causes such as education and to help out poor in villages in India. A global network of Indian teens is envisaged through Youth GOPIO.

Launched in New York in 2005, the Youth GOPIO is building and informing others outside of New York. All teens are invited to start chapters in different cities of the world. Anyone is interested in establishing a chapter can contact Sahil Khurana at (516) 724-1316 for more information or write to Youthgopio@gmail.com.
