What I've Learned From The Children In My Life

Few people would not know who Shaheen Mistri is. The founder of stellar organizations like Akanksha and Teach For India, you can comfortably say she is an inspiration for anyone in the education field in India. But a few moments with her will reveal that its never been about the numbers and the impact.
The compassionate warmth that she radiates envelopes all those in her presence, and you can see the journey was always about children. In opening her heart and serving with what she had. A mere conversation with anyone in her team will reflect exactly this - Serving to unlock the potential in those around us.
We were grateful to have her with us at the Giftivism gathering, as she shared a few pivotal moments in generosity from her epic journey so far."
