As special guest, we has Mr. Selvam, founder of our partner organization READ (Rural Education and Action Development). His inspiring work and chance meeting with Koen Van Rompay was really the start of Sahaya International (click here to read the story). He is truly the first drop, the one that started the ripple effect of Sahaya International. Therefore, we are extremely honored to have his presence at our premiere. |
