How we began: |
In 2012, Sagar and Sean were working together at the University of Notre Dame Australia. Sagar had heard that Sean had taken a group of students to volunteer at schools in Kenya as part of an immersion program. Sagar told Sean about the children in his hometown who he had been supporting for the past 15 years and his desire of building a school for them.
For two years they planned and fundraised to take a group of students to India to visit the hostel he had started. They took a group of ten students to spend time with the children. They were so inspired by their time there, that Sean, Sagar and two students decided to start a charity to raise money to help support the children. 10 years later they have built a residential school and educate about 50 children.
