IFA - Fundraiser

We have been involved with a fundraiser for an organization called India Friends Association. IFA is a non-profit, tax exempt organization dedicated to grassroots development in India. If you are interested in knowing about this organization, please click here: India Friends Association. Every year, for this fundraising event, I donate all the flowers from my garden to make the bouquets for the performers and arrangements for the event. This is my small contribution for this very important cause.

The Saturday, May 8th was the big fund-raising event. This year's theme was "A Tribute to Farmers". Since I am a farmers daughter, this theme is very close to heart. 

I gathered all the flowers from my garden and I am ready to make bouquets and arrangements. I started working at 7:00 AM in my patio. Weather was perfect, bright and sunny. I love to work with flowers any time. For a noble cause like this, I am charged with lots of energy.

I will use bird of paradise to bring the hight for the arrangement. 

I will use these palm leaves for the base of the bouquets. 

  

Here is the arrangement made for the entrance to the event hall.

I love this container.
