This week, Seema welcomed over 20 local women to begin training for our jewelry making program. We’re excited to work with this group from the nearby Sadhana Village!

"I think that what Seema is doing is of great bravery and sensitivity. Few things are as important as working together to achieve a common goal that benefits all of those involved and that changes how we think of ourselves.”

Clara Marques, our lovely model from São Paulo, Brazil, organized the Mahindra United World College of India's Women’s Week in late March. Along with a team of fellow students, she worked tirelessly for months to host numerous guest speakers, workshops, film screenings, and other thought-provoking events. Many thanks to Clara for all her time, effort, and passion!
