They both run a software company, participate in community activities, volunteer for Isha Foundation and do things very few people can. Last week a farewell party was organized for Hyma and Praveen. It was a party quite unlike the rest. It was inspirational, educational and above all a demonstration of what will and strong intention can accomplish.
I sat down with Hyma today to discuss her plans, her life and her thoughts on this transition.
You can donate to her campaign and read more about her at Hyma’s Voice.
