From: International Centre for Entrepreneurship and Career Development (ICECD), Ahmedabad, INDIA

Dear Friends,
I take this opportunity to write to you about this program that aims at a strong relationship with the next generation. It is a 4 weeks special program for youth to visit India and experience the Indian culture, environment, religion, languages, food, art and music.

ICECD is an international NGO operating in +55 countries and is involved in developmental activities for youth and women. In pursuit of people oriented activities, ICECD has been recognized as a CENTER OF EXCELLENCE by the United Nations - ESCAP, for its contributions in youth development in the Asia-Pacific region.

We at ICECD are very concerned with the rapid changes taking place in the global society. Our global developmental and creative initiatives and our interactions with various countries and people (especially those with roots in India), has presented a 'Challenge' to us - to expose their children to the true colors of Indian Cultural Heritage.

ICECD's commitment to the society, the environment, the youth and overall growth is demonstrated by the fact that it has conceived and created this unique program for the youth to see, experience and become aware of the real INDIA.

Since your association is very active in keeping Indians together, we are sure that you would appreciate this initiative. Brochure and nomination form is available at http://www.icecd.org/youth.html for your perusal, and for further information to your members. We hope you will inform your members. If you need any further details, please get back to us and we will be happy to interact with you and your members.

We would love to welcome the children whose roots are in India and are sure that this program would be the starting point for a “CHANGE”. Please visit our website at http://www.icecd.org" rel="nofollow">LINK for more details about ICECD's activities.

Parents invest in their children in many ways. This investment would be fruitful in creating a pride of being an Indian, and at the same time, help them integrate the Indian Cultural touch for Global outreach.

We look forward to your co-operation and hope to hear from you soon.



Sincerely Yours,

Hina Shah, Director
