“ I learned to play the Veena, learned the Carnatic dance called Bharatanatyam. I am also a fully qualified swimmer and lifeguard. At the age of 16 after receiving my GCSE grades I decided to tutor others, I trained at an academy and started my tutoring journey. I slowly built my business, after 4 years I decided to do what I wanted to do since I was a child… help others. I contacted the Catholic nuns from Srilanka through my family and arranged a visit. I met all the children and adults living in the care home who wore made disabled by the wore both mentally and physically. From that day on I made an arrangement to provide food and basic supplies.
When I came back to the UK, I made arrangement to provide free online English lessons to unfortunately children along with school supplies and food. I wanted to teach them English to give them a chance to get professional jobs once they finish their education.
