Karsh Kale together with other celebrities are ready to set the stage on fire to help change the lives of thousands of children through, Project Ahimsa and Education Thorough Music (ETM)! Karsh Kale, Tina Sungandh, and many more celebs to rock on for a good cause.
The spectacular event will be held on November 13th at Le Poisson Rouge in NYC. The concert, ‘Global Lingo’, will benefit Uganda’s House of Hope Orphanage for kids with HIV. It will also go towards Africa Live, a music program for kids in Ghana. Sounds like an amazing night! ‘Global Lingo’ was a massive hit in Los Angeles and San Francisco! It’s guaranteed to be just as awesome in NYC!
Project Ahimsa raises money for education programs around the world and has benefited 10,000 kids with over seventy grants, while Education through Music helps 9,000 children in NYC and 3,000 in California.  Project Ahimsa currently benefits children in countries like, Nicaragua, India, Tanzania, Thailand, Brazil, Guatemala, Cuba and now Uganda.

Advanced tickets are going fast for the Global Lingo event at Le Poisson Rouge, NYC on November 13th. Project Ahimsa, House for Hope, Africa Live! and Education Through Music have brought together acts like Karsh Kale (Live with special Guests), Nickodemus (Wonderwheel Recordings/ESL Music), Trendroid (Transport) and others with a myriad of hosts.

All proceeds benefit the aforementioned programs.

In a few weeks, probably one of the most important and historic elections will be held in the United States. Over the past eight years the United States’ popularity in the global community has dropped to its all time low.  The controversial war, economic turmoil and the fact that the current Bush Government doesn’t recognize any of this is extremely disturbing and disenfranchising.

Finally, we have two candidates that are worthy of the presidency; John McCain is a living hero, and a very admirable politician.  Barrack Obama, in his own right, is a visionary who understands that the United States needs to step out of the shadow of dark and start rebuilding its rep with positive and logical change.  We at D-Dub respect Senator McCain, but unfortunately, he is still associated with the Bush administration and has had to compromise many of his values to appeal to the extremist Right.

Senator Obama is the right choice for a brighter and more prosperous United States, and the World today.  In a poll conducted by GlobeScan in over 22 countries and 22,000 people being polled, 49% choose Obama with only 12% preferring McCain.  It is obvious that the global community wants to see Obama in the White House.
This is a ground breaking election, our children’s futures are at stake here; we must come together and have Senator Obama elected as the next President of the United States!

We at Desi Wear don’t usually get involved in politics, however, after living in North America over the past eight years, it’s absolutely clear that in order for the United States to get back on track on the world stage and lead our world with the TRUE American dream we must come together and join Barrack Obama and his message for change for a more prosperous and progressive United States.

Now is the time! Let’s unite together and vote Barrack Obama for the next President of the United States.

Show you care, rock our new
“Desis for Obama” original T.
