BREAKING "BARRIERS" - A FUNDRAISING GATHERING
JUNE 22, 2002


With the generous help of Suneet Bhatt, Rohi began to plan a fundraising event in order to begin raising production funds for "Barriers" and on Saturday night, at TG Whitney's, a hundred people showed up in support. The fundraising efforts were fashioned as an informal and unofficial after-party to the successful Net-IP Theatre Festival (KHOJ) that was occurring that same weekend, where one of Rehana's one-act plays was featured.

With their brother, Amir, spinning tunes at the DJ table, the room had a jovial feeling as everyone enjoyed the atmosphere and the balmy summer weather. "This is definitely a family affair," states Rehana. "To see my friends and family come out in support of something that is important to both me personally and to our community as a whole is honoring and rewarding."
