Sunil Sahoo is in charge of papercraft within Dakshini Prayash and has been a part of the community since 2003. Prior to his involvement, he was the personal driver for the school’s president, Anubhuti Prakash. Driving her to the school on a regular basis, he developed a strong interest in the papercraft section, and began to help out occasionally. Now, having retired as a driver, he is a full-time member of Dakshini Prayash.

Sunil started by learning how to make a newspaper bag without any formal training. Sunil’s experience demonstrates how within Dakshini Prayash, skills are passed along through training to ensure that anyone can join, as Sunil then taught others how to make what he had learnt. “I very, very much enjoy everything about the school,” Sunil remarked. “This is my family. My biggest wish is for Dakshini Prayash to succeed.”
