For locals: a good number of local Irish members learn and practice Bengali and Hindi language for their tourism purpose, for charity purpose (it helps when they travel to Nepal, Bangladesh and India along with various Charity organizations and in the occasion of International marriages) (d) To provide support and financial aid to such other charitable institutions and/or charitable purposes as the trustees may from time to time determine in accordance with the law of charity. The annual Fund raising cultural event is dedicated to Northern Ireland’s local charity like ACTION CANCER is a demonstration of the benefits of Mudra Academy. Action Cancer is our direct and prime beneficiary. Our motto of learning and performing dances is to utilize our skills to help the wider community therefore we actively perform in various charity events like Action Cancer, Cancer Research UK, British Red Cross which adds variety and d diversity to the events not only benefiting the event organizer but also the local audience who are given a glimpse of a different culture that helps build mutual tolerance between the local community and South Asian minority – a step forward in building a multicultural society. We do not have any funding support, we work with dream, passion and aspiration. There is NO private benefit or harm.
