Today, we have a very inspiring story for you that might help you reflect on some questions that trouble us, keep us awake at night, and shake our soul 

Who gets to decide - who is “ordinary” and who is “special”? 

Do we really understand the harsh realities of the remote villages in India?

Why is money so important for receiving a quality education?

Why do people bring up a child in this world when they can’t take care of them? 

What does it mean to truly connect with another soul and be present for that person? 

"The subject of education is very close to my heart. There is a production mentality, lacking basic human elements. What really finds a place on the report card is devoid of emotions. If you are not happy, how can you perform or learn? What’s happening in school takes up most of your time. We need to take care of a person overall - in the class, field, corridor during breaks, the real person outside the school. It's important to get to know the students and then work with them for education to happen in the real sense - to bring the best a person can bring to the table - not just academically - a human being is so much more than that!"
