Thank you to the very talented Inayah Sharon Aamir and team for featuring Team Bring a Smile and me in their magazine ‘The Popular’, August, 2020.

To narrate a story from an Indian epic – Team Bring a Smile aims for the eye of the (wooden) bird.

To set context – Dronacharya, a renowned teacher in archery, set a test of shooting a wooden bird, in a forest. He asked his pupils what they could see. The answers varied from trees, branches, flowers and fruits. Arjun, a young Prince, (and the most accomplished) said he could only see the eye of the wooden bird.

“We as a team focus on what we can do to help the world around us. In whatever way possible – education, healthcare, infrastructure assistance.”

Everything else is a peripheral that we gratefully accept.
