Space is the place that always puts a smile on his face! Yash Gandhi is a studious and intelligent 15 year old from Pune, whose favourite subject is science. In fact, so interested in space research is he, that he hopes to make it his career one day! When Make-A-Wish® Foundation of India's Pune division volunteers met him at the hospital and asked about his innermost cherished wish, there was no hesitation in his request! Yash immediately said he wants to visit the Space Research Centre at Shree Hari Kota that houses India's only satellite launch centre. His wish was kindly sponsored by the Cox and Kings Ltd. on 1st August 2010. He was fortunate to get an opportunity to meet some of the great scientists there and enjoyed talking and discussing Space Technology with them. Despite their hectic schedule, the scientists were quite enthusiastic about answering this intelligent boy's every query. Yash had a wonderful experience at Shree Hari Kota, and it has recharged his energy and enthused him to move ahead in life. Much like the satellites being launched there, the visit has infused more force into his desire to make a career here a reality! |
