Our Approach
We Facilitate Safe Learning Spaces
Dr. Vijayan is supported by several other members of family affair. Key members of the team are seen below in the various team pictures. “family affair” would not be what it is today without the enthusiasm, hard work and commitment of each of these members.
Besides the members physically present at various projects, our family would be incomplete without several members who help out immensely back home in Singapore, in particular, Rani Segar, Rita Asogan, Neel Gopalakrishnan and Rajen Rajaram.
Further, we consider every member who contributes towards our cause as a member of this family and we are proud that the family continues to grow in size each year, enabling us to do our bit in meeting the objectives that we have set for ourselves.
