I got an opportunity at Iceland where there were 50 musicians, artists, poets, writers, dancers, sculptures and painters were invited to participate from all over the world and I was the only one who was invited from India. I was unsure about participating in it as I had just returned from a project that I had in Europe which was for 2 months which was sponsored by me. I was going to call off my trip to Iceland for the competition as I was facing a shortage of funds. Later I had a conversation with Dr. Anand in which I mentioned that I was going to call off my trip to Iceland and he told me not to worry and go ahead with it as he would be helping me with a sponsorship so that I don’t miss this opportunity and without any delay he confirmed my travel to Iceland”, she said.
I am thankful to Dr. Anand Govindaluri, Founder for all his support and sponsorship.
