Bringing their experiences of the world and of their home town Sweden at our doors, and penning new stories of the bold character and persona of wisdom the girls of Samsara wear everyday, was the eventful and awe-inspiring week starting from April 4th, with tonnes of interactive sessions on self-defense, group discussions, intercultural exchanges, selfies with beautiful proud smiles and splitting sides with laughter.
