Bala Vikasa founder Bala T Singareddy Gingras, Shobha Singareddy, Director, SOPAR, and Shoury Reddy Singareddy, Executive Director, Bala Vikasa, also participated in the meeting virtually.

“Usually even parents don’t talk or discuss certain issues related to emotional health with their children as much as the people at Bala Vikasa discuss with us. I am so grateful to Bala Vikasa and our donors for constantly mentoring us in all aspects at all stages of our lives. I feel very belonged and loved here,” said Shyamalatha from Gangadevipally, a Vikasa Child.
