- About Me:
- I have had a great innings in the field of HIV/AIDS learning from the communities that I have tried to provide technical support to.
( People Living with HIV/AIDS, Female Sex workers, Men Having Sex With men and Transgenders).
I love human interaction and travelling and respect all cultures, genders, races and religions alike.
I love movies, music, reading fiction and non fiction and dancing. I love nature and animals and have 2 female stray dogs as pets. I love children and believe every child is special. I love to celebrate life.
- My dream:
- To build the community capacity and its response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
To provide technical support to the communities vulnerable to the HIV/AIDS and STIs and help them understand and respond to their vulnerabilities.
To learn more on preparing and understanding the policies for the communities in various cultural and regional settings.
- I'm proud of:
- Being a Woman, a sensitive person, an Indian and having the sensibility to adapt to cultures to be able to be a Global citizen.
I also am proud of the tremendous hard work my parents and family have put in to help me achieve my goals and dreams both personal and professional.
