Lakshmi Gounder
Youth cross country coach and mentor
- 🇮🇳 Nashik, Maharashtra, India
- Acacia Youth Club
- Since 2002
- English
For 24 years I've run the cross country program at Acacia Youth Club in Nashik. We trained 4 evenings a week, whatever the weather.
Practice always ended with the same rule: nobody walks home alone. I paint watercolors of whatever is outside the window.

What gifts mean to Lakshmi: I'll put any gifts toward a small fund so no child misses a match because of money.
