#WATWB ~ WE ARE THE WORLD BLOGFEST celebrates these the goodness and selflessness that surrounds us as against the negativity and angst most often seen on social media. Each month we spread love, light and positive stories to make this world a more positive and happier place. Today I share about Preethi and Soulfree – one woman’s journey to making a difference for all women with spinal injuries.
Let us flood social media with peace and love.
“In Darkness, Be Light.”
‘Soulfree‘ that aims to help people with severe disabilities, especially women to lead a life of dignity and purpose. Soulfree’s ultimate goal is to change this and provide a state of the art rehabilitation centre that will house women with severe disabilities that cannot be taken care of by their families as long as they need it.
Soulfree also provides training and skills to ensure that they can use whatever faculties they have to become financially independent. For example, voice-based jobs for those who can only use their voice productively – dubbing artists, audio books, advertising.

What an unbelievable story. It is wonderful to know that such an organisation exists. Thanks for sharing Inderpreet
We need more of this kindness and wisdom. What we focus on gets bigger. Thank you for spreading the good news!
“Where there is a will, there is a way” and this seems like a perfect fit for those who are in need of these services. Thanks for sharing about it and being a member of #WATWB
Hi Inderpreet – what an incredible organisation to find out about – just extraordinary … which must bring much joy to so many who need so much help. As Susan says … selfless people who are lamps of light in the world … so good to know about- thank you – Hilary
Thanks Indy – truly it is wonderful to hear of such an initiative. Selfless people who are lamps of light in the world. Thank you for this, and also for co-hosting.
What a wonderful idea. A disability does not have to mean the end of independence and it’s great to see people helping others like this!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful message with us.
What a truly noble thing Soulfree is, Indy, as is the life and generous works of the Srinivasan family. To take one’s changes in life to give life to so many others is an admirable and touching mission. Thanks for sharing and co-hosting us Simon’s Still Stanza #WATWB
It’s such a blessing when people’s lives take such an unexpected, and often tragic turn, and then they go ahead and make such outstanding contributions to benefit others. What an inspiring story and meaningful initiative.
What a good organization that is filling a need. Some people can see a problem and find just the right solution, can’t they. Thanks for sharing this initiative.
That’s such a thoughtful initiative. More power to Soulfree as they empower lives!
