Guria has a network of international friends, including Guria UK, who volunteer to support Guria in India through raising awareness and funds. This is extremely important to Guria. Some highlights of events are given below.

There have been many other brillitant events including those organised by Princeton University students such as the recent event with Indian dance and music along with a speech from Guria Director, Ajeet Singh, who was able to visit New York through support of the Freedom Fund.
in addition there was a performance at the Cambridge 'Heart of the World' music festival by Aashish Khan and an Indo Jazz concert held at the Nehru Centre (Indian embassy) London. Other fundraisers have included a Chai and Samosa sale at Smith College, Massachusetts, as well as Christmas fairs and jewlery sales.
