Indian dance instructor Vibha tells us how a Bharathanatyam workshop in Plymouth connects members of the South Asian community and allows them to explore their heritage.

We are very sad to inform members and well wishers about lose of one of our valued member and a former trustee of the South Asian Society, Dr Peter Kapoor. Those who knew Peter, would remember him as a very loving and caring person and always wanted to do the right thing. He started his career in Merchant Navy and then worked as a lecturer in Plymouth University. He was employed by the United Nations and worked in a number of countries. He was an entrepreneur and started his own business but due to health issues could not continue. He joined South Asian Society as a proactive Trustee and wanted to do more for the society but his health could not allow him to do so therefore he had to gradually step back. In the last few years he was diagnosed with IPF and as a result his health deteriorated over the course of time and Peter left us on 19th of June at his home with his wife and daughter beside him. May God bless his soul and rest in peace after fighting with ill health and we will always remember him as a true, gentle and hardworking man.

The funeral will be held on 30th June at Weston Mill at 1430, everybody is welcome.

Dear Mr Koshti

Dance Dance Dance 2013

I would like to express my thanks on behalf of the Plymouth and Cornwall Cancer
Fund for your support in donating the proceeds of this year’s Dance, Dance, Dance
event. Unfortunately I was not able to attend, but I understand it was a great success
and enjoyed by everyone.

The sum of £665 raised will be invaluable in supporting this local charity which
supports local people affected by cancer and the establishments that provide
treatment and care. We do this through hardship grants, funding research projects
and staff education, supporting complimentary staffing posts. I can only thank you
again, and wish you well in any future events.

Kind regards

Sara Aspley
Chairman
