Aarini loved the camp. She enjoyed rock climbing, making laddoos, interacting with other girls & playing with them. It taught her new things about our culture. Thanks again for such amazing camp.

Watching Prerna in action at Camp Desi Roots was amazing! She is an incredible facilitator, and her decades in education come shining through. My daughter was so amazed that she was able to make friends so easily - another testament to the kind of kids Prerna is trying to bring together. We are so excited for the sleepover camp!

I'm amazed at how this camp came together. I found it moving how much the girls shared about their roots, their families, and their lives in such a short time. This is what building community looks like - so grateful for the opportunity for my girls to be a part of this.
