University of Michigan Law alumna Roopal Shah ’95 engaged Indicorps and Volunteer Ahmedabad to host the first international event for Michigan Law Alumni and Friends Service Day on 1 May 2010.  The University of Michigan Law School invited its alumni throughout India to join the Volunteer Ahmedabad Action Item (“Action Item”) for a cleanliness drive and civic awareness campaign.  The Action Item was a high-energy event involving over 75 people; it included a street clean-up and street plays about our collective responsibility to keep Ahmedabad clean. The Ahmedabad Action Item complimented the larger UM alumni service efforts in Illinois, California, Ohio, Florida, and Washington DC.

The University of Michigan Law School-Indicorps partnership for an 2010 Alumni and Friends Service Day is a continued testament to the power of service to cross boundaries.
