      Hi, My name is Panchanh and I am the Librarian for Harmony Science Academy North Austin. I would like to ask if the Lion Dance Team would be willing to perfom at our school for the Chinese New Year. I have no funds so this would be for charity. I am asking for your generosity to help bring culture and help contribute to the community. Please let me know and I appreciate your time. Thank you
