Fundraising Event at Sixty2 on Wharf

Sixty2 on Wharf is holding a fundraising event on Monday, October 12, called "Maiti Nepal."

The event will include an auction, raffle and a documentary that explains how Nepali women and children are mistreated, and what we can do about it. Sixty2 on Wharf will serve hors d'ouevres.

Maiti Nepal (translation, "Mother's house") is a Nepali-run organization that combats the trafficking of women and girls from Nepal to India for prostitution - from education and awareness programs in rural areas, to raids within the Indian brothels to rescue the girls.

Cost to attend the screening and fund raiser event is $20 with pre-registration; $25 at the door, and includes hors d' oeuvres served by Sixty2 on Wharf (62onwharf.com). To register, call Sixty2 on Wharf, 978-744-0062.
