In 2016 SI Poona celebrated International Women’s Day with members of their Friendship link club of Perth in Scotland.This year they had decided to felicitate two of their own scholarship awardees, Pratibha Avasekar and Sapana Tandale. These two girls despite being visually challenged, had done their post graduation and B.Ed courses and are determined to face life against all odds. They are two extremely confident and motivated young women, who appeared for the Probationary Officers’ examination and secured jobs for themselves in two leading nationalized banks in the country. The guests as well as all SI Poona members were totally impressed and inspired by the absolute confidence and determination of these two girls.
