Episode 23 Jaswant Kaur: Helping, Inspiring & Empowering The Poorest In India.

Episode 35 of the Leaders With A Heart podcast is one for the ages! I've been blessed to have connected over the past few months with truly amazing, inspiring and incredible individuals with golden hearts. However, the guest on this episode takes it to a whole new level. Jaswant Kaur is the Exectutive Director of Deepalaya, an NGO in India which has a beautiful mission to help, inspire and empower the most neediest people in India. Deepalaya, has a beautiful and very fitting meaning in Hindi, (Deep meaning House and Alaya, meaning Light or House of Light!).

Indeed, for the past 40 years, Deepalaya, has been a shiny beacon of hope, a true House of Light for the less fortunate ones in India. Through running multiple projects around the country in key sectors of society: Education, Healthcare, Skills Development, Empowering Women and Providing an opportunity for a normal life to street kids and orphans in various areas in India.

Jaswant has an incredible story. She was herself given a decisive help by a kind gentleman who sponsored her education at a time of great challenge where she couldn't afford to do so herself while in College after a family tragedy following the death of her father. To which she has been forever grateful to that man's incredible gesture of kindness and generosity.

Sometimes, gestures that may seem insignificant to us, can mean the world and be life changing for someone in need at the right time. This has been her mission and this is the mission of Deepalaya. This is one very candid, heart to heart and fun conversation with not only a true Leader With A Heart, but most importantly with an Enlightened Soul, Jaswant.

Make yourself comfortable and watch this, you'll fully enjoy it. :)
