My Journey at SVP
Partner since 2021
“SVP India is a great platform to contribute to the community. In my first meeting with SVP, I was with Ms. Aamrapali, Ms. Neelima, and Mr. RVS, and they gave a clear understanding of SVP goals and service and were very welcoming and approachable. I am glad that we are part of SVP India, as the core goal of our lives is to help grow our community towards an ambitious and sustainable future for underprivileged children and women. The reach of SVP is very impressive. SVP India members strive to set their goals in every project they take up.”
