Anika Gupta, Gr. 8, sang at an October fundraiser for the Akshaya Patra organization, which works to combat hunger and improve education in India. There, Gupta also got to meet keynote speaker Narayana Murthy, founder of the information technology services company Infosys and the highly regarded “Bill Gates of India.” The event raised more than $500,000 and Gupta’s performance of the Dionne Warwick hit “That’s What Friends are For” was enthusiastically received.
