Right after her studies in 1998 Shobha volunteered for, and later joined Bala Vikasa in India, where she served as program officer until 2003.

Nathalie F.
Program Officer

Born in France and living in Canada for over 25 years, I have enjoyed a varied professional career, from pharmacy to the food industry, always guided by one essential principle: trust. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to meet inspiring people whose encounters have influenced my life and strengthened my values.

Although I already had some experience in humanitarian work, meeting the SOPAR team was a true revelation, made all the more meaningful by the fact that my partner comes from the same region as Angèle and Shobha. Passionate about India, I am delighted to be involved with Sopar and to contribute, in my own modest way, to improving the lives of disadvantaged people.
