Story of a Volunteer turned Changemaker - Ashoka Fellow Vishal Talreja

Vishal Talreja, Ashoka Fellow and founder of Dream A Dream, spoke at Ashoka India's head office on Jan. 24th about his personal history and path from volunteer to changemaker.

Recently I've been communicating with Ashoka a lot and discussing covering more and more of their fellows here in India. It's a huge help to me because they already have a very rigorous process of vetting their fellows, so I have more guarantees that the people I'm meeting are actually "doin' good".
The coming videos will be more in my style, but I shot this for them and thought I'd upload it here for everybody.

It's a really inspirational story - hope you take the time to watch!

@ozzy78 Glad you took the time to watch it man! I really liked the story - wish I could have captured it better, but glad I at least captured it. ^_^

I'll be meeting Vishal more in the future and getting more video of him.

@Degenskonto Hehe - the Indian accent is pretty fun to listen to. I quite like it. ^^
