MISSION

HSC's purpose/mission is to promote Hinduism and educate people about Hindu culture, religion and way of life. Our executive team will try to achieve this by organizing events that will inform people from Bollywood to Hindu food to it's gods. Some of the events that we have already done which have achieved this purpose are Hindu Awareness Day and two movie nights. Please see the details for these events in the "events" page above. So what can you do to support us and contribute to our purpose? Simply become a member of HSC by filling out a form on this website. Or if you are more ambitious than that fill out our helper's form on the "Join Us" page.
