SikhNet is hard at work on our SikhNet Learning Center, a new online resource for learning Sikh Values, Lifestyle and History.
Between now and October 21st, we have a unique opportunity to raise $50,000 for this project. An anonymous donor has offered up to $25,000 in matching grants funds to help us fill the SikhNet Learning Center with the content you have been asking for.
