Hi, Correcting some typos in the previous mail. Instead of "Jnyan Prabodhini" it is "Jnana Prabodhini".
Also, Official website of the school is http://prashala.jnanaprabodhini.org/ And wikipage of Jnana Prabodhini organisation is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jnana_Prabodhini Regards -Sudhanwa On Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 1:42 AM, Sudhanwa Jogalekar <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > *Update on Wiki11 Pune Meet up:* > > > On behalf of Pune Community and Pune chapter, we celebrated the 11th > Anniversary of Wikipedia and the 1st Anniversary of India Chapter at > Jnyan Prabodhini, Pune.
