WHAT: Discovering: Shuktara Release Party Fundraiser
WHERE: Rochester, NY, USA
COST: $25/person

We are just one week away from our Discovering: Shuktara Release Party Fundraiser! Advance tickets are now on sale at www.discoveringdeafworlds.com.


For the past nine months we have diligently worked with Closed Loop Films to capture the essence of Shuktara, an inspirational home to 18 former street children in Kolkata, India who are deaf or have cerebral palsy. We are happy to announce that our documentary is now complete and ready to share with you all!

Please join us for this exciting event to celebrate and support the continued efforts of Discovering Deaf Worlds and Shuktara. There are only 300 seats available, with less than 100 seats left, so please don't wait until the last minute. Order your tickets right away!

In addition, those in attendance will have the opportunity to meet Shuktara’s founder, David Earp and longtime supporter, Alison Saracena who are flying from Kolkata, India to Rochester, NY for this momentous occasion! A panel discussion with David and Alison will occur after the screening of Discovering: Shuktara.

DVDs of Discovering: Shuktara, complete with special features that reveal more about the people who work and live at Shuktara, will also be available for sale at the event.
