Our AGM was held on Saturday 21 September 2024 at the Blue Room in Harrow and was very well attended so we’d like to say a BIG thank you to all those that came along.
At our meeting, led by our Chair, Sanjiv Shah, we had the privilege of hearing from our inspirational co-founders, Anita and Matthew. Rena, from Germany, who was instrumental in the setting up of Project Rena, shared her story, and we also heard from Mia, Patrick, and Innocence from Sweden. We were honoured to hear from Ravi Naik, known as Ravi number 1, as he shared his truly life changing story from being on the streets in Adrahalli, to being rescued and growing up in the care of El Shaddai, going on to become a successful business man and now Trustee of El Shaddai India. His story left a lasting impact on us all. Sobha, one of our dedicated Trustees from India, spoke of her personal journey, and John Turton, affectionately known as Cricket John, added a memorable touch to the session.
Matthew shared the following video with us, highlighting the latest stories, news and updates from India.
