This is honestly a wedding made in heaven. And with so much correctly Karma that they have got already generated via this notable gesture of theirs.
I’m also personally pleased that 3 of the maximum innovative fundraising strategies have come from two IP attorneys/judges. The first became Pravin Anand, who coined very creative marks and then sold them for a price and donated the proceeds to IDIA. The second becomes Justice Prabha Sridevi, who did multiple sketches, which were then auctioned at a huge felony convention. And the third is this. We look ahead to many more such creative cuts for fundraising. Ones to take us towards our goal of making greater leaders and attorneys from within underprivileged groups!”
