The first member of Sarvam Shakti, Priyanka's story has been nothing short of extraordinary!
The daughter of a houseboy and a homemaker, she has now travelled the world and India on her talents through Bharatanatyam. She is highly proficient in this art form and has recently joined the Municipal Corporation of Delhi government school for a part-time job teaching Bharatanatyam to children from a similar background as hers!
Rotary Foundation under Rtn Pran Mehta made this possible. Priyanka gets paid Rs. 1250 an hour and along with her Shakti colleague Shweta, they make enough pocket money every month to fund their travel expenses for their college studies. Priyanka has joined a Diploma in Primary Education program by the Delhi Government as she sees herself in the future as a Primary school educator as well as a dance teacher in the evenings!!
She claims that she was previously very coy and timid but as her relation with Sarvam grew, she have achieved new heights with her confidence level. She is grateful for the opportunities she gets from the foundation and says that the greatest achievement to her is the strength that she has got from being here.
“It’s been a great journey here and it shall continue. IT IS SO GREAT to be able to take this knowledge forward to other children in my community!"
She thanks Sarvam for giving her the wings to proper nutrition and life altogether.
