Who runs the Walsall Shishukunj?

Shishukunj was inspired by Mahendrabhai Lad and his wife, Dakshabhen Lad. Living in the Walsall Hindu community, they felt there was a lack of 'Sanatan Dharma' amongst the youth. They remembered how influential the 'Shishukunj' (Childrens Hindu Sunday School) they attended when they were children in Kenya and Leicester was like. With a vision of seeing children as being the leaders of the future, Mahendrabhai and his wife set up a Shishukunj in Walsall to nurture the local development of this Hindu Dharma and Culture that the older generations seem so proud off.

Shishkunj began in December 2005 and is supported by the whole family: two son's - Pramal and Amal, and daughter, Deepa.

Since the start, there have been a core group of parents and volunteers who shared the vision of Mahendrabhai. They include; Kajalbhen Paw, Belabhen Mehta, Sheetalbhen Parekh, Samyuktabhen Popat, Manishabhen Patel and Manubhai Vyas.
