Dear WeReachout member,
Best wishes from
WeReachout. Hope you are doing great. Here is an update on WeReachout and its
activities since March of this year. The past few months have been significant
in raising awareness about WeReachout and its activities and board members have
been focusing on this at several forums in and around the bay area. These
activities are generating interest in our programs and also inviting the
attention of other organizations and influential valley professionals. All this
augurs well for the future growth of WeReachout and significantly helping us in
our vision to reach out to more students and shaping their future.
Please review and
