A (wo)man of few words, Sarah can most only say this of herself: “Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” – Andre Gide That is what she believes in, and that will be her driving force in life. In whatever she does, she must find meaning. Thankfully at this young phase of her life, she got herself into MENDAKI – serving MENDAKI Club. The past three months have enlightened her of another face of volunteerism she did not know before. Finally, although this doesn't flow, Sarah has met a newfound love for Indian ghazals & sufi music. Oh yes, perhaps her rediscovery of her ethnic roots – the Indian part we mean.

Living life without limit is Aishah's credo on life. Exploring and attempting new things gets her motivated to leap out of her safety zone. She also deems that if one would like to get to the sun, they've got to put up with a few blisters. A lady who is constantly on go, wishes to travel the world and gain new insights! "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Even as Yasmin Kamal has begun to set her right foot into the 30ish range, her left foot would rather be immersed in a pre-school where she would find her energy matched. The youngest of four sisters with 10 over years apart, she had been breathing in the 'forever young' mantra till she was slapped with shock by fellow colleagues who kissed her hand (offering salams) on her first day at work. Graduated with a degree in Mass Communications by Petree College in Oklahoma, US, her maiden job and thereafter had been in PR and Marketing Communications, and she embraced the need for a change. The ailurophile also transforms into a new age "auntie" as she walks around her neighbourhood in T-shirt and Bermudas and non stewardess- like bun for her regular felines. She is also an active volunteer with Cat Welfare Society and Paw Pledge and believes in neutering cats so they may have a better life. Currently, she has her 8-month old son as a promising apprentice.
