Stories of Sankara

Neque laoreet suspendisse interdum consectetur libero id faucibus nisl tincidunt. Dictum fusce ut placerat orci nulla pellentesque dignissim enim sit.

Living the Life of Service

“There is a saying that when you are down, lift someone up”, says Sonal Solanki who has been volunteering with Sankara since 2005. In 2004, she lost her father in a car accident. “Devastated by grief I knew I had to find a meaningful way to deal with the loss.”

A Passion for Music

Just like his namesake Murali Krishnamurthy – our CEO, and the founder of SEF, USA – is a connoisseur of music.  Once during a fundraising event, one of the introductory singers did not turn up. As the organizers were wondering how they could manage the large crowd until the arrival of the lead singer, they turned to Murali.

Yeh Dosti

“We are best friends, and we take care of each other!” Vanita and Nirmala, two neighbors and best friends, had come to the Sankara Eye Hospital in Panvel to get their cataract surgeries done. Both in their late 60s, their children were grown up and had moved to the cities for better opportunities.
