Gandhi, Lopez, and Keshava Family donate $10,000 towards Vibha`s Ray of Light campaign in memory of Dr. Sulochna Pradhan
Dr. Sulochana Pradhan was a young, pleasant, beautiful doctor who specialized in the field of pathology. Her family loved her very much. There was a sort of competition between them to get the sports page in the morning whenever she was visiting them. They cherished attendance with Sulochana at Wimbledon and the number of memorable trips to Europe. The words that describe her the best are honesty, decency, sincerity, and sports fanatic. Sulochana left too soon—pleasant memories of her live on.
Vibha Connection- A Podcast Series
https://anchor.fm/vibha-connection
Vibha derives strength from all its stakeholders, the projects, the volunteers, the patrons, and donors. We wanted to create a forum that can serve as a source of information, a community for all these stakeholders. A place of learning and sharing for the entire Vibha family. This is the thought process behind this new initiative – a Podcast Series called Vibha Connection.
