Every day, I get to see all of you walk through t ..read more

A few months ago, we were contacted by Dr Radhika Tanksale (MA, MPhil, PhD Psychology), Director of Social Space Community – a social venture dedicated to promoting social connectedness through group activities. “Social Space Community offers various social-rec ..read more
