My visit to Vaidehi Ashram here .
Second visit to Ashram for my dad's birthday.
cya for now,
siri, I think there's a mistake..
ReplyDelete1 raffle ticket = 10$ or 500Rupees.
1. For Example - If a donor contributes 50$ or 5000Rs, then he/she can avail 5 raffle tickets..
Shouldn't that be 2500Rs instead of 5000Rs??
Thanks Kay for pointing it out. I have updated the post with the correct details.
