Light the night for hope
Please join us for an overnight interfaith vigil and fundraiser to benefit the survivors of the South Asian earthquake. It wasn’t in God’s plan for us to save the 90,000 lives this devastating earthquake claimed. But there is strength in numbers and together we can raise hope for the 3.5 million survivors who are all in desperate need of insulated tents and clothing to shield them from the harsh, cold winter ahead.

We will not be able to fully comprehend their pain and helplessness by spending one night in mild winter weather but we can certainly create a better understanding of their plight.

Let the flames from our candles light up the night sky brightly, showing the world that hope still means hope in every faith and in every color.

Please join us to show solidarity with the victims.

Where: Palo Alto Civic Center, 250 Hamilton Ave
When: Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005. Time: 9pm

This vigil will be followed by a press conference held on Wednesday, November 23rd at 11 am.

Sponsored by Multi-faith Voices for Peace & Justice, Santa Clara County Council of Churches, Local United Nations and American Muslim Voice

We will have an interfaith memorial service for Samina ‘s beloved mom at 9 PM who passed away in Pakistan after struggling with cancer for three years.
