Donor Testimonials

 “Everybody gathered here, has had somebody, at some point in their family, get an education against all odds, and by doing so, changed the trajectory of generations to come…. Those who founded this organization and set out on this journey, have made a huge contribution to society. Scholarships are a fuel to individuals who are already driven, and hence the efficacy to a large extent is guaranteed. However, the level of achievement will depend upon their belief levels…. I posit that people do not perform to a potential, but to a belief level….  In our tradition, Guru Gobind Singh, at a time of incalculable odds and horror, raised the belief level of his followers. He made hawks out of sparrows in spirit…. We must find ways to raise the belief level in recipients so that they aim higher than they would otherwise. In that way, we give them not just the fuel to navigate the immediate constraints, but infuse them with an inexhaustible spirit and liberate their spirits to take flight when life weighs them down…. I am pleased to note that SHDF holds workshops to impart leadership and entrepreneurial skills.”
