Slumdog Millionaire Fundraiser Event

On Tuesday, March 24th at 7pm Open Arms For Asia will be hosting a fundraiser event at Celebration Cinema. They will be showing the new film "Slumdog Millionaire" which is the powerful story of three orphan children fighting to survive in the slums of India. It focuses on a Mumbai teen who grew up in the slums, becomes a contestant on the Indian version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" He is arrested under suspicion of cheating, and while being interrogated, events from his life history are shown which explain why he knows the answers. The movie paints a realistic picture of the despair and struggles that orphans face in India yet delivers a message of hope and perseverance.
For those of you in Grand Rapids or surrounding areas you should really try to make it out to this event. It's going to be an amazing night -- I wish I could be there myself. I'm excited for what God has in store that night. There will also be an Open Arms For Asia presentation and all proceeds will go to the children here in India. You won't want to miss it.
For ticket information please contact Gary Schuler at 616.340.1165 or Dale Plowman at 616.540.8860. Or you can email me at breana_d_brendsel@cornerstone.edu and I will reserve tickets for you. Tickets are $15 each and include a fountain drink and popcorn. Only 500 tickets are being sold, so you must reserve yours ahead of time.

Let me know if you have any questions or would like to volunteer at the event!

In Him,
Breana
