The South Asian Family Association (SAFA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to highlighting the South Asian community and culture. Our goals are: to promote positive images of the South Asian community; enhance cross-cultural understanding; and empower families to maintain their heritage while embracing Canadian culture. Some of the ways we have accomplished these goals include organizing Indian festivals (including our annual summer India Live festival and Diwali functions); providing annual scholarships to high school students who have demonstrated excellence in academics and community service; holding International Women’s Day forums and Mothers & Daughters dinners; running youth summer camps; and organizing health fairs for the South Asian community.

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children, to earn the approbation of honest critics; to appreciate beauty; to give of one’s self, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived–that is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
