She was trained and given knowledge about various aspects of this industry and she landed up at Café Coffee Day (Greater Kailash) as a level one employee. She enjoys her work as a coffee maker and appreciates the efforts put in by her mentors who are their for her whenever she faces some trouble. Her enthusiasm towards her work is commendable.

She is quite happy about her training and the placement as she is able to support her family and at the same time has enough time to study further.

"It is all because of Sambhava and Bunyaad foundation who provided me with this opportunity. organizations like Sambhava Foundation really make us believe that their are still people who cares for the poor like us. When I had no where to go, Bunyaad selected me and gave me skills which has fetched me a job today. I am really thankful to both the organizations"
