This journey shaped me into the leader I am today.
I joined MAD as a volunteer in Pune when I was just 18. I’ve been with MAD for over 4 years now. This experience has helped me overcome my own fears of solo traveling, making new friends, self doubt.On days I questioned if I was capable enough or experienced enough. But I showed up anyway. As I was shaping the lives of the children at MAD I realised another big change. It’s the change that happened inside me”
