We had a simple celebration in office, with a reaffirmation and commitment towards our mission. What have we achieved in the last 15 years?

Sharing a donor story – S Viswanathan

8-Donor CONNECT
Just a month after we shared a donor story, we are lucky to get another one to share with you. Again an old friend – S Viswanathan was my husband’s colleague for several years and his family and ours still share a great rapport.
