In this special Founders' Day episode of Sojourn: Student Voices, host Kushal sits down with Ms. Ashrita, daughter of the founders of Abode of Peace, an NGO that has been providing holistic care and a nurturing home for girls for over three decades.

Recorded during the Founders' Day celebrations at Silver Oaks Oakhills, this heartfelt conversation explores the inspiring journey of Abode of Peace, the daily lives of the children they support, the challenges of running a community-funded home, and the power of compassion, resilience, and hope.

The episode also reflects on the vision of Mr. Dhanunjaya, Founder of Silver Oaks, whose belief that "Character First, Competence Next" continues to inspire students to become icons of personal and social change. By welcoming the girls from Abode of Peace into the Silver Oaks family on this special day, students experienced firsthand that service is not just something we speak about—it is something we live.

Can a few mindful moments each day transform the way we learn, think, and live? What if yoga is not just an activity, but a way to find balance in our everyday lives?

In this episode of Sojourn – Student Voices, students from Silver Oaks Oakhills explore the timeless practice of yoga and its relevance in the lives of young learners. Through personal reflections and thoughtful insights, they share how simple yoga practices can become part of a healthy morning routine, why the world celebrates International Yoga Day, and how practices like Surya Kriya help cultivate strength, focus, and inner well-being.

Hosted by Chetan (Grade 8), this episode features Sohan, Charita, Harshada, Hasvita, and Aira, who reflect on yoga as more than physical exercise—it's a way to develop mindfulness, improve concentration, support academic and sporting performance, and create balance amidst the demands of school and everyday life.

Join us as our young voices remind us that true learning begins with a healthy body, a calm mind, and a balanced life.
