“The invitation from Ms Vandana GopiKumar Ji came as such an honour for me, because I have greatly admired her work through The Banyan and think of her as one of my role models. And, having seen the incredible patience and gentleness with which the mentally ill, homeless inmates are treated, my admiration has only increased greatly.”

BALM is a great educational institution that is providing many courses in social sciences and psychology. They are associated with The Tata Institute for Social Science and Harvard University.

All in all, it was a great privilege for me to have the opportunity to share my story with the students and staff of BALM, and more so, turned out to be a great inspiration for me to keep working hard towards fulfilling Soulfree’s Vision!
