Advancement specialist Dr. Sonia Selwin has served thousands of underprivileged in India, the Middle East, and the United States for over 22 years from 2001.
Quest For Life's Purpose
In the voyage of human existence, the quest to discover purpose and embrace passion is an adventure that spans across the ages. Dr. Sonia Selwin, who was recently honoured with the Award for Excellence in Global Education, Business, and Advancement, conferred upon her at the British Parliament by World Tamil Organization, UK on May 2023 is a testament to her commitment to initiating developmental programmes in education, outreach, entrepreneurial training, and research. Her journey spans continents, leaving an indelible mark on lives in India, the Middle East and the United States. Her transformational work in India revolutionized education for women, fostering real-world connections and empowering internships and assignments. She has lived a life shaped by experiences, celebrated victories, heart-wrenching losses, and an unwavering commitment to selfless service. In the words of Dr. Sonia, "Life teaches us both bitter and sweet lessons. Illuminating through the sacrifice of self in service, should be the guiding principle of every human being."
Dr. Sonia's identity intertwines economic hardship, gender biases, impacts of racism, and the challenges posed by belonging to both a backward caste and a Scheduled Tribe. Her life's narrative weaves through these dimensions, providing her with an extraordinary perspective on the struggles that marginalized communities face around the world.
