Indian “MasterChef” Ajoy Joshi visited Wagga Wagga for the fourth time to cook a feast of Indian delights for 300 lucky Guests at the Mater Dei School Hall last Saturday.
This generous, renowned, Chef delighted his guests with some of the most popular dishes from his Restaurant at St Leonards, Nilgiris, for the Darkness to Light Project which is the dream of Dr Alok Sharma, a member of the Rotary Club of Wagga Wagga. This project is all about restoring sight to the poorest people in India and supporting Vision Impaired young people in the Riverina.
With generous support from local businesses and a packed hall of guests, approximately $30,000 was raised from the fourth Fund Raising Dinner which Ajoy has prepared for Wagga Wagga residents. This will be spent restoring the sight of approximately 300 Indians by operating to remove their cataracts and supplying glasses to hundreds more.
An adjunct to the Darkness to Light Project, which commenced in 2005, is the Riverina component where young, Vision Impaired people in the Riverina are supported in a variety of ways to achieve their full life’s potential.
