Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he shares about founding The Shanti Bavon School in India, a boarding school committed to guiding children from their first day of school to their first day of work. Dr. Abraham also opens up on how they keep the institution up and running even without government support and how it has positively impacted around 15,000 people.About Guest:Dr. Abraham is a renowned philanthropist and social entrepreneur, best known for founding the Shanti Bhavan School in India.
