On 4 January 2012, over 16 CLP youth and young adult leaders camp together in Riverside, CA to commemorate the passing of Suresh Dharma-- child rights guru and leader in Tamil Nadu. The leaders brainstormed and discussed the impact of the Cylone on the communities in Pondicherry and how Norte Vista High School students could reach out and assist.

Youth leaders have begun a "Stuff the Suitcase" campaign-- an effort to raise school supplies and materials for Shiva to take back and use immediately in CMC village. Youth are also motivating friends and family to donate online on or before January 16th's Martin Luther King Day of Service at the Arlanza Garden.
