abha ahuja

2 november 1972 - 20 october 2001

    Abha made a strong impression on everyone she met. Active in IETF,
    NANOG, ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, AFNOG, the IRTF, the Internet Society, and
    other organizations, she touched people all over the globe.

    With the creation of a list for women in networking, her influence extends
    to this day, bringing together people for collaboration and community.

    She was greatly loved, and she is greatly missed.

Scholarship in Memory of Abha Ahuja

    In October 2002, a scholarship fund was established in Abha's name. Donations
    to the "Abha Ahuja Women in Science in Engineering" fund will benefit students
    at the University of Michigan College of Engineering. We hope her memory and
    this scholarship fund helps encourage a new generation of women to join our
    engineering and NANOG ranks. Details are provided at:
    http://www.nanog.org/scholarship.html

The Ahuja family provided the following information:

   Abha always had a kind heart for poor people. Therefore, we feel it
   will be appropriate to send donations to the Hindu Children Fund
   (tax exempt ID # 38-3531639) who assist poor and deprived children.
   The donations can be sent to the following address and we will make
   certain they reach the poor children.

       Hindu Children Fund

       Plymouth, MI 48170
