As many of you know, our church has partnered with a Unitarian school in India since 2003, and for the last several years, we have supported two teachers’ salaries. The Khasi Hills Partnership Team invites members and friends to contribute to our 2025 fundraising effort.

But first, a big Thank You! to the annual donors whose early contributions, together with those who gave through the Alternative Gift Market, have already raised $4,180, putting us well on our way to meeting our goal of $9,600 to cover the two teachers’ salaries.

We invite you to join in this meaningful mission to support our Khasi Hills Unitarian siblings and the students and teachers of the Annie Margaret Barr Higher Secondary School. Give online at https://www.first-unitarian-pgh.org/connect/donate/ by selecting “Give to Khasi Hills Sponsorship Fund” from the dropdown list, or mail a check to the church with “Khasi Hills” on the memo line.

The Khasi Hills Partnership Team will hold its first meeting of 2025 this Sunday, January 19, at 9:00 a.m. in the Priestley Room or via Zoom. We will discuss plans for the March 2 Khasi Hills Sunday Service. Please join us if you’re interested in volunteering with the team or learning more about our Khasi Hills partnership!
