CUHCS is one of the largest faith societies at Cambridge University. Established in 1992, they provide a community for all students to practice Hinduism and learn more about the religion.
Throughout the academic year, CUHCS organised various charity events to raise awareness and funds for Lepra. A charity formal was held during Sewa week (Sewa being an important aspect of Hinduism to act selflessly and help others without any reward or personal gain).
Represenatives from Lepra were also kindly invited to the CUCHS Diwali Ball where they met with society members and informed them of our work.
Parth Narlawar, President of CUHCS shares what the charity partnership has meant for their society,
“Partnering with Lepra has been an incredible way for members of CUHCS to do their Hindu duty of giving back. We chose Lepra because of the impactful work they are doing in tackling Leprosy and LF, and wanted to contribute to helping the lives of millions. Thank you to all the staff who helped in this partnership!”
Through their efforts, CUHCS raised an impressive total of £701 with an additional symbolic £1 donation which is regarded as auspicious in Hinduism. We are so grateful to everyone at CUHCS for their generosity and commitment to Lepra.
